PANACUR Dewormer HORSE PASTE 10%, 100mg

I know this is against instructions and not recommended but I had 3 cats passing giardia back and forth. I took in a 2 week old sick kitten who had it. I took her to the vet. 30$ visit, 30$ test, 30$ medicine. $90.00Shared litter box, she passed it to the other 2 cats. She was cured but then got reinfected. I was on fixed income and could not pay for all 3 cats vet visit, tests and meds. The vets office said I’d need to bring each cat, $30 each. test each cat $30 more before I could get panacur for them. SSI paid me $860 a month so $270 for these cats for one treatment round was not possible for me at that time.Cat panacur requires a prescription but horse panacur does not. I bought this and made the very careful calculations and measurements to bring the weight from horse to kitten. It was difficult to administer and 7 years later the sick kitten is still angry at my boyfriend who did the catch and squirt in mouth duty. (She won’t let him near her to this day) because of the shared litter box and every cat having different cure times they each at least once were cured and then got re infected. I think the kitten had 3 rounds. In total we were not free of green leaky diarrhea and cat gas for 3 months. I can’t imagine how much it would have cost to go through the vet for each cat each time.Less than 20$ did several rounds of treatment on 2 adult and one baby cat. It is white pasty & gross. The cats hated it. But it likely saved the kittens life & cured the grown cats. I never noticed a negative side effect from this medicine on any of the three.In no way do I think what I did was a good idea. It is risky. I tried a similar approach with flea medicine and one of my cats got so ill I was terrified I’d poisoned her. (I thought it was successful with horse panacur and tried to save money by purchasing dog flea drops for 40 Lb dog and cutting it down to my cats weight.) horrible mistake. One cat took it fine but the other cat.... (once the giardia infected stray kitten) She reacted very bad...The poor girl was terrified. She looked like she was hallucinating. Huge pupils... She cried and shook and streamed drool in my lap. She was so afraid and refused to leave me. She even pooped herself a couple times as I held her. Afterwards I read horror stories online of people killing their pets doing this with flea drops. That experience made me realize it’s not worth the risk to save money. But at that time with the giardia outbreak I felt I had no choice. I had to help her. I had to help all of them and I was too poor to help them the right way. So I used this product in an off label manner. It worked. They were cured and had no bad reaction that I could see. But if you can afford the right way, please do it the safe, correct veterinarian route.

Through away all your medz!!! This + ivermectin kills it all, YES ALL. Kurss things they say can’t be. Yep you found it.

I've heard good things about this product so giving it a go for my 'big ole lab' and so far, he doesn't mind (or notice it at all) at all. Hopefully the lump (small so far and hasn't grown) will disappear after a few weeks/months of treatment for parasites ...

It's dewormer. I mean, what else can I say? I use it on my feral cats. The unflavored mixes into their wet food, and helps them out. My amish neighbor uses it on their horse.

Works well

10% Fenbendazole is just an 'across the board' product as it can be used on just about every animal on the planet for parasitic stomach issues. I used it on my dog first time and now use it for my cat also [well both really] this is my second purchase. The first one had a shelf life of over a year and it doesn't have to be refrigerated, just the usual 'cool dark place' . One of these lasted quite a while for a small dog [less than 20lbs] dosing every six months. With cats its three days in a row whereas dogs its a one shot deal. It is administered by the weight of the animal....tons of dosages listed online for your particular animal. This product is used by more 'animal' people than any other product out there. You can spend a ton of $ for animal specific treatments but all you really have to do is use this stuff and it works. Google it you'll see.....Highly recommend.

It does the job 100% - thank you

I bought it to treat canine tapeworm and it worked. However, be forewarned that horse dosage is different from canine recommended dosage (in terms of the percentage of the "active ingredient" included) so you will have to adjust the amount. Hint: canines (while much smaller than horses) require a higher dosage percentage-wise of the active ingredient to treat and effectively kill their intestinal worms. If you can confidently work all of that out then it works fine but due to this, did not turn out to be as cost-effective as I first thought. It is a paste (which I liked) and the delivery method is measurable and thrifty. However, next time I'll buy the product targeted for canines.
