Answer 2

Yes, it's used for cats as well, it's a general-purpose wormer that will kill roundworms (not tapeworms).  It's very safe, and I'm sure your vet gave him the right dosage.  Just because the stool sample shows now worms, doesn't mean he doesn't have them.

Panacur

The care of animals has always included the management of internal parasites. As technology has progressed, the medications developed have become more and more broad in the spectrum of parasites they can eradicate. Fenbendazole is a member of the benzimidizole group of anti-parasite medications which makes it a relatively broad

Fenbendazole (often abbreviated “FBZ”) is used in both large and small animals. In dogs, it is useful against roundworms, hookworms, and the more difficult to treat whipworms. It is effective against the Taenia species of tapeworm but not against the Common tapeworm, Dipylidium caninum. It is also effective against giardia (an intestinal protozoan which is contagious to both humans and pets) as well as several species of lungworm and even some flukes.

Fenbendazole is rarely required for feline use but can certainly be used safely in the cat. Fenbendazole is not approved by the FDA for use in the cat, however.

Some animals experience vomiting/nausea after deworming.

-----When I'm nauseated I usually like to sleep it off as well.
