Hello,
Im aquiring 2 Adult Red Niger Uromastyx for a breeding project. I assume they are wild caught. I have Panacur, what would you say is the approriate dosage for animals this size? And how long?
Thanks,
Mike

As I posted in another forum, you really need to have a fecal check run at a vet before randomly dosing with Panacur. You also need to know the weight of both uros using a good gram scale in order to know how much Panacur to use, assuming they do have parasites, what type of parasites they are, and if that's what a vet tells you to use.

As long as you're using the Horse wormer paste version (10%), the dose is 1/10 of 1 cc of the paste for every 100 grams of body weight. Only the brands "Panacur" and Safeguard" are safe to use. The active ingredient should say "fenbendazole"
Note its only good for nematodes but these are the most common parasites in imported Uros.
