Panacur
Hello there,
Is Panacur that is 10% Fenbendazole the proper choice for treating snakes, and what resource would I use to find proper dosage?
Thanks!

Re: Panacur
I have had it recommended to me by an experienced local breeder. They use a tiny amount- they said they dip a toothpick in it and then wipe it inside a feeder's mouth for most colubrids. They didn't mention a boid dose.

Re: Panacur
Some deworming requires 100mg/kg, and if you're dosing without knowing the parasite i'd go for that dose.

It matched what another member sent me PM...
"It is sold in a tube as a paste. There are 25grams of paste in the tube, 100mg/g. To make it into a 200mg/mL solution, add 12.5mL of unflavored clear Pedialyte to the paste and dissolve it thoroughly. The dosage to give the snake is 50-100mg/kg"
So I went with that.  But I know what you mean about Melissa Kaplan....
