title: Mebendazole paste as an anthelmintic in random source research cats.
abstract: Mebendazole paste, administered per os daily for 3 days, at dose levels of 22 mg/kg and 33 mg/kg was highly effective in removing Ancylostoma tubaeforme from naturally infected cats. The 22 mg/kg dose gave the highest efficacy (95.5% critical and 98% controlled). The same product at 11 mg/kg, 22 mg/kg, or 33 mg/kg was 100% effective in removing Toxocara cati from naturally infected cats. Both 11 mg/kg and 22 mg/kg dose levels were highly efficacious against the common tapeworm, Dipylidium caninum. No toxic side effects or clinical illness were observed in any of the cats used in this study.
