So, after a very liquidy diahrrea-like poop, I scheduled a vet appt for Cactus, fearing she had parasites. The vet could only see me two days later, and I wish I had tried to save a sample of the liquidy poop--Cactus didn't poop again when the vet appt came up. (SO annoying--of course she pooped as soon as I brought her home!)
The vet tried to do a swab inside her vent, but didn't see any unusual parasites on the swab. She still prescribed me Panacur, 0.25 once today, and then another 0.25 in two weeks. Cactus weighed in at 524 grams at the vet (but I wouldn't be surprised if she just pooped out 20 grams).
My main question is, what side effects should I expect, and will Panacur hurt her if she doesn't have parasites? I'd like to know these for sure before I actually administer the Panacur to her. On that topic, any tips to administering the liquid? Or should I just..try to probe the needleless syringe into the side of her mouth?
Thank you so much, to anybody who can help.
