Lewies vet prescribed him panacur to treat him for his parasites for the next three weeks. It was one dose a week, and I accidentally just gave him all of it at once. It was only 0.3 ml. Is this going to hurt him??? Or just ineffective?
That medication doesn't tend to be too harsh, but that's a lot at once. I'd contact your vet for advice but in the meantime offer him plenty of water to drink to help him flush it through his system. Vet may advise using activated charcoal but that's usually best administered right away. Hopefully it will just pass through his system and not cause much issue but I'd hold off on further meds for a while.

That's what I thought/read. I imagine he is just going to feel yucky for a few days. He doesn't drink water except on his food. I will keep a close watch on him. Any other advice or opinions are appreciated.
Poor guy, at least it wasn't ivermectin or something more harsh than panacur. One thing you can
do is get some parsley, cilantro, basil, mint & oregano mixed together in a slurry. You can mix it
with water or diluted cranberry juice & give that a couple of times per day to try & detox his body
a little bit.
Is he eating anything right now?
Let us know how he is doing.

Good to hear. He should be fine then. Fortunately, that med is relatively gentile. I'd still re-test a fecal sample as schedule but hold off on further meds for a while to give his system full recovery time.
That is great to hear he is doing so well & it didn't seem to affect him, thankfully!
Definitely I agree, I wouldn't give anymore meds right now though, as Cooper mentioned.
