Panacur graduations.

Hi all.
Sage has been loosing weight ++ with excessive drinking and urination.
The vet prescribed panacur on the 5th Feb and he gave him his first dose.
The vet gave me 5g syringe and told me to use 1 graduation per day.
I noticed that the box label the vet put on says use for up to 28 days, but the syringe only has about 5 grads left.... Have I been doing this wrong?
How many actual doses are in a syringe?
Are there any adverse effects to overusing this?

Any help appreciated.
Helen
 
You have not been doing it wrong, you need more panacur for the 28days.

There is about 18 graduations in one tube. So a bunny under 2.5kg would need 2 tubes and would have some left over.

18? My vet told me there was only nine. :? He showed me to just go by the lines on one side of the stick bit (oh, I can just tell this post will make no sense! :lol: ). Presumably one graduation is a top line to a bottom line rather than a top line to another top line?

Wait, I'm going to make a diagram! :lol:



I should be banned from using paint! :lol:

On a more serious note, I'm worried I've been overdosing Thistle and Jess now. :oops: Is it possible/dangerous to overdose on Panacur? :?

** I guess I better go post this in my Jess thread too. Awwwhh, poo.
 
Yep, from your genius picture :D I can tell you I am using one graduation.

I would never know how to draw like that on a 'puter! :thumb:
(Paint you say, eh? I am going to have to try this!)
