Soak food in Fenbendazole?

[Pazzoman]

Hey Everybdoy,


I did read the stick however still not sure about treatment. I recently purchase "pancur" horse dewormer with fenbendazole. So far I placed some of this cream into a bowl and added a pellets...then some water. I mixed it and now its thier soaking...I added water because it would be easier for it to be placed in the syringe.


Now all I have to do is feed it to my fish for the next three days... I also feed them three times a day so I assume three treatments of fen for three days? Or one treatment for three days? The of coarse I would repeat in a few weeks.


Just wrote this thread up because worried this stuff may cause tank parameter problems if I do it wrong...Thanks

Guess no one has used this fen...I added it...tank was extremely cloudy. So I performed water change to help relieve the cloudiness....I guess you not suppose to soak it....

or maybe everyone just used a different product. If so please let me know! Is thier some kind of pellets with levi or fen...any ideas? Unless I'm the only one trying to deworm lol

Seems pretty straightforward to me ..........

Fenbendazole can only be used as a feed additive
at the rate of 1.14 grams per pound of food fed for three
days, with a repeat treatment in two to three weeks.

If you are simply adding & measuring willy-nilly, and not actually measuring the meds, and mixing per quantity of food as directed then I suspect that your results will be about as accurate as your measurements.

Hey thanks for your reply RD, so do you mean i should take a better measurement of the actual product used? Guessing its basically a drop of this stuff mixed with thier pellets...

I will try to perform the actual math tomorrow as well as somehow take an educated guess on how much the dewormer paste weighs
