Re: [Alpacasite] Help! Safe-guard question

Ellen, the fenbendazole (Panacur, Safe-Guard) dose for the majority
of gut worms is 20 mg/kg. When converted to ml, this comes out to 1
ml/10 lbs of camelid for three consecutive days. There are a couple
of worms that do require a higher dose and more consecutive days.

One key is to re-check the fecal about two weeks after worming with
the above dose (1 ml/10 lbs). If you still see evidence of
parasites, then you need to increase the dose, increase the number of
consecutive administration days or both.
