internal nematodes, where to get Panacur?

[aquakev]

I am convinced that my long time problem with intestinal worms i my fish are, Camillanus, a internal nematode living in the lower intestine of fish. Possibly brought in and passed on by snails/worms. I observed the tiny thread like worms trailing out of the anus of my fish. I dissected one fish that died a month back and found the infestation to be entirely in the lower intestine. I have researched that fenbendazole the active ingredient in Pancur is the best method to treat this.

My question is, do I need a prescription for this? My vet said I could get it at horse supply. Does anyone have any ideas on how to obtain this?

I am sorry to say I can't help you, but wish to commend you for getting to the bottom of your problem and dissecting the fish. That really helped in your situation, and there are plenty who would not have been able to do it!

Have you considered Paracide? Here is a link to a supplier: http://www.fishyfarmacy.com/shopping2.html#Paracide-X

Jungle makes a medicated food for intestinal worms. It think that it has worked for me (no recent camallanus deaths). Another lauded treatment is Levamisole Hydrochloride. It is hard to find though. Try large animal vets as it is used as a cattle and pig wormer. Not sure of the dosage. Google camallanus and levamisole and you should find some info. If memory serves CinciKillies had a good article.
