Experience with this anybody?
Recently acquired a WC and want to be proactive. She weighs 150 grams.
page 131 of Kathy's book "fenbendazole at 50-100 mg/kg" (50-100 mg of fenbendazole per 1,000 grams of snake)
She does not mention Panacur but nowadays (the book is 18 years old) packets of Panacur in the 1 gram (1,000 mg) size seem to be the most common and readily accessible form of fenbendazole.
There are 222 mg of fenbendazole in a one 1,000 mg packet of Panacur... so 1 entire packet would be equal to a dose for a snake weighing between 1,110 to 2,220 grams... so 1/2 the packet would be a dose for a snake weighing between 555 grams to 1,110 grams... so 1/4 the packet would be for weight between 252.5 grams to 555 grams... 1/8 for 126.25 to 252.5... is my math correct?
1/8 packet of Panacur = 125 mg
Now I just have to hope that she takes frozen/thawed or pre-killed mice.
