What is Fenbendazole?

Fenbendazole is a broad-spectrum anthelmintic (dewormer) commonly used to treat gastrointestinal parasites in cats, such as roundworms, hookworms, and certain tapeworm species. It works by disrupting the metabolism of the parasites, leading to their elimination from the pet’s body. While generally considered safe, correct dosing is crucial to ensure effectiveness and avoid potential side effects.

Purpose of This Calculator

The Cat Fenbendazole Dosage Calculator helps cat owners and veterinary professionals quickly estimate the appropriate dosage based on a cat’s body weight, the concentration of the Fenbendazole product (in mg/mL), and the duration of treatment in days. It is designed to save time, reduce calculation errors, and provide a clear, easy-to-read dosage recommendation.

Inputs

• Cat Weight (kg): The cat’s current body weight in kilograms.
• Fenbendazole Concentration (mg/mL): The strength of the medication as stated on the product label.
• Treatment Duration (days): The number of consecutive days for administration, typically 3 days for most deworming protocols.

Outputs

• Daily Dose (mg): The amount of pure Fenbendazole required each day.
• Daily Dose (mL): The corresponding liquid volume based on the provided concentration.
• Total Volume for Course: The total amount needed for the entire treatment period.

How to Use

1. Weigh your cat accurately using a pet or kitchen scale.
2. Locate the concentration value (mg/mL) on your Fenbendazole product.
3. Enter the weight, concentration, and treatment duration into the calculator.
4. Review the suggested dosage and confirm with your veterinarian before administering.

Accurate dosing is vital to effective parasite control and your cat’s safety. Always follow your veterinarian’s guidance for medication schedules, and never exceed the recommended dose without professional advice.
