Never really a good idea to self-medicate a tortoise...or any animal, especially if you are not a vet or rehabber at least. Also, there is no real need to deworm a tortoise for no reason. At a vet, they do a fecal test to test for worms, then they treat them if any are present. Panacur doesn't treat every type of worm anyway. I recommend you bring a fecal sample to your vet for analysis...if there are worms present, they will give you meds...if not, you are fine.

NEVER USE OR ALLOW ANYONE TO GIVE YOU IVERMECTIN DEWORMER FOR A TORTOISE. CAUSES DEATH
