Make sure you check the concentration per ml to make sure it is the same. When i get home ill post what i have on mine. You may also need panacur for cocidia

I was going 2 recommend Acidophiliz & Panacur. What do u think?

i mean the only thing i can think of is to much coccidia or is theres somthing else that can take away nutrients from her to not let her grow and i need to know how much ml and what to get rid of it this is the first first parasite i have ever had in any animal and im scared........... and thanks richard and JeffO for your help

nothing to freak about. they get parasites from the bugs they eat. they get cocidia, pinworms and assorted nematodes and junk. my panacur is 100mg/ml. dose is .02ml per 100grams once a week for three weeks. panacur is for the worms and stuff. ponazuril is for the cocidia and im waiting on an email from my vet for that dose. stand by for station identification!!!

ive never used the acidophiliz so im not sure.

We get it mixed to 30 mg/ml, and
that makes it really easy (1 ml per kg, or more
appropriately, 0.10 ml per 100 grams of body
weight). We dose on day 1 and 3 (basically 48
hours apart) and retest if needed. use this info at your own risk. I AM NOT A VET! you should seek a vet for proper dosing instructions! THIS IS FOR PONAZURIL

im going to try it starting monday so it will be easier to track i also read in a VET blog that a higher dosage of calcium plus will help fight parasites in general

 

[Exile Skimmer]

but dont feed it higher calcium plus all the time just when needed
