Panacur paste dosage for guinea pigs?

[Jenbirdee]

Does anyone know the correct dosage of this for a guinea pig?

I found this online
The recommended dosage of Panacur 10% paste (fenbendazole) for a guinea pig is typically 10 mg/kg body weight, which equates to 0.1 ml of the 10% paste per kg of guinea pig, given orally once daily for 3–5 days depending on the specific parasite being treated.[guinealynx]
Dosage Guidelines
• For a 1 kg guinea pig: Use 0.1 ml (equals 10 mg of fenbendazole) per dose, administered once daily.[guinealynx]
• Ensure accurate weighing for proper dosing.
• Consult with a veterinarian before use, as some sources recommend Panacur primarily for dogs and cats, and off-label use in small animals like guinea pigs must be supervised by a professional for safety and suitability.[noahcompendium +1]
Important Precautions
• Panacur 10% paste is not licensed specifically for guinea pigs, so veterinary supervision is essential for safe dosing and monitoring.
• Monitor for side effects such as gastrointestinal upset, and discontinue if adverse reactions occur.[guinealynx]
• Only use Panacur 10% paste if prescribed or approved by your exotic pet veterinarian.
In summary, the standard dose is 10 mg/kg (0.1 ml/kg), orally, once daily for 3–5 days in guinea pigs, but always check with a vet before use.[petsensedirect +2]
