Does panacur cover worms? Angelo had fleas when I got him back so I was going to worm him, but I had to give him panacur for 3 days. Would that cover it?

Yes, Panacur works for all kinds of worms! We've used it in our cats. They've always taken the granules, which they lap up in their food. I'm so glad Angelo is back!

Thank you!! And thank yiu for that confirmation. I had syringes with liquids and man it made a mess, he spit some out. I haven’t noticed any worms in the poop or his butt so hopefully it’s helping. I’ll ask about granules when I bring him back for a recheck

When I first got Panacur for the cats, the vet tech basically told me I was in luck because they had granules but no liquid (or maybe it was paste?). :lol: The only tricky part with the granules is that you may might need to weigh it to get the right dose. We have a scale for cat food supplement so were already equipped.

Syringing meds can be rough! I still find spots of Sucralfate (it's white and powdery) in odd places after syringing that to Edwina for almost two weeks. She absolutely hated it!

Fingers crossed that Angelo continues to do well!

I had to give the liquid syringe type to my cat Hooper when I rescued him. He had lungworms so I had to give it for 7-10 days or so. I had to purrito him since he wasn’t tame yet. It was very messy!

I can get his mouth open and it in, keeping it in was another story 😂😂
Same here! Our cats are both very good at spitting (spewing!) out medication. It does help to put the tip of the syringe in the side of the mouth rather than by the tip of the tongue but even that isn't a dependable way of getting medication in!
