RE: [Alpacasite] Help! Safe-guard question

Steve,

I knew that both Panacur & Safe-Guard were both Fenbendazole based but
understood or apparently misunderstood that they were given at different
doses.

Can you extend the math further to the use of the weight ring on the
application tubes?

Jay,
Panacur and Safe-Guard are both brand names for the chemical named
fenbendazole (they are the same). This typically comes as a 10%
paste. The correct dose is 20 mg/kg which, after all the math, comes
out to 1 ml per ten lbs of alpaca (or llama).
