I'm having a bit of a moment regarding maths!

Time to worm my pigs (and chameleon!) again, but I'm doubting my doses!

Panacur 10% suspension = 100mg fenbendazole per ml
Fenbendazole dose for small mammals = 50mg/kg, so 0.5ml/kg?
For reptiles = 50-100mg/kg so I tend to go for 75mg/kg

So...
Big Dave = 1.20 x 0.5 = 0.6ml
Boxy = 0.77 x 0.5 = 0.39ml
Jeff = 1.28 x 0.5 = 0.64ml
Cameo = 1.12 x 0.5 = 0.56ml

Colin = 0.124 x 0.75 = 0.093ml

Can someone confirm my workings are correct? Not sure why I'm doubting myself!
 
You lost at at the highlighted bit - sorry! :red

Agreed
Fenbendazole dose for small mammals = 50mg/kg, so 0.5ml/kg?
agree with 0.5ml/kg assumng 50mg/kg is recommended dose
For reptiles = 50-100mg/kg so I tend to go for 75mg/kg

So...
Big Dave = 1.20 x 0.5 = 0.6ml
Boxy = 0.77 x 0.5 = 0.39ml
Jeff = 1.28 x 0.5 = 0.64ml
Cameo = 1.12 x 0.5 = 0.56ml
