[Problem] Worms [Advice] We always worm all hedgehogs as soon as they come in with PANACUR ( Fenbendazole). Our regular regime is to give Panacur for 5 days. Nothing for 2 days, Then give Telmin(Mebendazole) for 5 days 2 weeks later repeat the entire course.We are at present trying a slightly different routine with Panacur on day 1, Telmin on day 2 and continue to alternate for 10 days. Repeat in 2 weeksAlways give Antibiotics when initially worming hedgehogs. The usual antibiotic is Baytril 2.5% at a dose of 0.8ml per KG bodyweight given twice daily. (oral or by subcutaneous injection)Worms in Hedgehogs are a direct result of its diet. They are transmitted to the hedgehog from earthworms, slugs and snails. You can cut down on the risk by supplementing its food in your garden (see Feeding page.) Some Vets suggest Ivermectin by injection for worms. This doesn’t work on all of the species of worms that normally infest hedgehogs [Description] 
Fails to put on weight despite eating. No external signs of worms but general debility; hog looks thin and rangy, sometimes blood in droppings.
