My anole weighs 3.5 grams. What dosing would be correct of Panacur for parasites and how frequently? thanks

lele

my syringe is in cc

I have the panacur in cream form

What is the strength of the Panacur?

the box says: 25 gram Paste 10% (100mg/g)

if you go here www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?PGGUID=30e07e85-7b6a-11d5-a192-00b0d0204ae5 and click on

Manufacturer/Label Information all the data is there

thanks

Well, if you wanted to dose at 100 mg/kg, then you would need a dose of .35mg of 10% paste. This is a very, very small amount, so you will need to dilute in water. What I would do is dilute 3.5 gm in 100cc water then administer .1cc once a week for 3 weeks.

You're welcome. Just want to make sure that you understand that's 1/10 of 1cc...(it's hard to see that decimal sometimes)

yup, I got it, but thanks for pointing out. One decimal point can make a world of difference - maybe even life or death!
