Content: Dosing with this oral suspension is easy. This should be used in combination with Ivermectin to ensure ALL parasites are eliminated. Mix 0.1 ml or cc per 10 lbs of body weight, mixed into food such as canned pumpkin or yogurt. This dose should be given once a day for three days in a row. If worms are suspected, repeat the 3 day dosing two weeks after the first dosing. Regular schedule for Fenbendazole is every 4-6 months. This medication can be used in pregnant pigs but it's not recommended for piglets under 6 weeks. **If your pig has never been "dewormed", the pig is new to the household or its been more than 6 months since the last treatment, you can give the Ivermectin as instructed above or take a stool sample to the vet for testing. Remember, not all worms are detectable in the feces, so although the fecal test may be negative, your pig can still have parasites/worms. If your pig is super itchy or has the mangey orangish/red color skin (that doesn't wash off), odds are your pig has sarcoptic mange and needs to be treated.
