Panacur For Quick and Effective Pet Parasite Annihilation

The four most common types of intestinal worms are roundworms, hookworms, whipworms and tapeworms, and these can all be treated using Panacur. It is important that any parasite infections in your pet are treated quickly and thoroughly. If left alone, intestinal worms can cause a wide variety of negative symptoms such as severe itching, bloody stool, diarrhea, vomiting, reduced hair growth, lethargy and loss of appetite.

It goes without saying that any of these symptoms on their own would lead to a diminished quality of life for your pet. Fortunately, treatments like Panacur are known to be both quick and effective in eliminating not only the symptoms but the parasites themselves.

Panacur's active ingredient is called fenbendazole. This ingredient is actually able to kill the worm by disrupting it's energy metabolism. Because this disruption occurs on a cellular level, Panacur is able to kill not only the parasites but also their eggs. This means that treatment with Panacur can eliminate any current infestation and can prevent the potential future infestation that may have resulted from surviving eggs.

Panacur is relatively easy to administer. It is available in packages containing several 1, 2, or 4 gram doses. The dosage amount required for your dog depends on its weight and is typically about 1 gram for every 10 pounds. It can be added to food, and the relatively small amounts make it easy to hide. A course of treatment with Panacur lasts only three days. Side effects are not common.

Something to keep in mind when treating your pet for intestinal worms is that humans can contract roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms from their dogs. It's vital to be extra careful when handling an infected dog. Once your dog is cured, there are some simple steps that you can take to help prevent further outbreaks.

First of all, try to make sure that your dog does not have fleas. Fleas can carry certain kinds of parasites which they then pass on to your dog. Also, if you feed your dog raw meats, you need to be very careful because this can also be a source of parasites.

Finally, it is important to make sure that your dog's stools are removed daily because they are another common cause of parasite infestation. If your dog does contract intestinal worms, Panacur can safely be used again, but it is best to consult your vet before administering any treatment.
