I completely understand why you're worried about your puppy's recent behavior. Panacur (fenbendazole) is a common deworming medication used to treat intestinal parasites in dogs, and it's typically well-tolerated by most puppies. However, it's natural to be vigilant about any changes in your pup after giving them any new medication.
Hyperactivity itself isn't directly linked as a side effect of Panacur, but it's possible that your puppy is just feeling better now that they're being relieved of intestinal parasites. Increased energy could mean they’re less uncomfortable and more excited to play and explore. Other factors such as changes in diet, routine, or environment might also contribute to a spike in energy levels.
If your puppy is displaying excessive restlessness, behaviors like pacing, or out-of-the-ordinary behaviors, consider creating a calm environment. Provide plenty of opportunities for play and exercise to help them burn off some energy healthily.
Keep an eye out for signs that might suggest a more serious issue, such as vomiting, diarrhea, noticeable discomfort, or any allergic reactions like hives or swelling. If you spot these or if your puppy’s hyperactivity seems extreme and persistent, it’s a good idea to seek veterinary guidance.
To ensure everything is in check, I recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet, who can delve deeper into your puppy's specific situation.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
