Help with Panacur

PetMania Jun 23, 2004 06:36 PM

I just got a tube of pancur 25 gram paste 10% How much of the tube do I give a 1000 gram snake. I don't want to OD the snake. 25 mg would be about a 1/4 of the tube is that right. Do you use tahe much? Please help

A 1000gram snake dosed at 25mg/kg would get 1cc Panacur. I always use a 3cc syringe, so I know exactly how much I'm giving them, but with Panacur, if you overdose even 4x's, the snake should be fine. Just be careful with overdosing with Flagyl.

Get a 3cc syringe and squirt some from the tube into it, and you will get a much more accurate dosing.

Good luck
