Flagyl stays in the digestive tract, while Pancur doesn't. That is why Vets have currently turned to it. That and of course it does treat enteritis, why I use it for, as I've never had a case of Giardia. Pancur only has 10% Fenbendzole and used for large strongyles, pinworms and ascarids. You can olso obtain Fix Zole/Metronidazole/Flagyl on revival. The problem doing that is that it comes in 250mg capsoles and one needs to know the correct dosage per weight.
There is also something else on the market for treating Giardia as some strains have become resistent to Pancur.....can't remember what the name is, I'll look it up on my YTCA list.
