I'm sorry to hear your puppy is experiencing lethargy after taking Panacur for Giardia. While some side effects can occur, it's essential to ensure your puppy's health and well-being.
- Lethargy can sometimes be a side effect of medication.
- Close observation of your puppy's overall condition is important.
- Consult a vet if any concerning symptoms persist.
Panacur (fenbendazole) is generally safe and well-tolerated in puppies, but some may experience mild side effects such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or gastrointestinal disturbances. It's important to monitor your puppy and provide supportive care, ensuring they stay hydrated and comfortable. If the lethargy continues or is accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or if your puppy seems to worsen, it would be best to consult a veterinarian for advice.
