Did the third feces test yesterday after treating my Star with Panacure. It still has 1-2 worms. Does it take this long to treat? Each treatments had an interval of two weeks consisting of two doses. At first a lot of worms, second treatment 3-4 worms and yesterdays results showed 1-2 worms. Sure it is better but should I switch to another medicine or stick with Panacure?
Panacure on Star takes how long to treat?

Usually what you see under the microscope is worm eggs, not the worms themselves.
Ask your vet. Maybe the dosage wasn't high enough. It would probably be ok to dose him again in another 10 days from the last dose.

Don't get too carried away. You have knocked the parasite burden down to a non substantial level and if you continue to provide a clean, sanitary environment then the numbers will stay low.
In my opinion, too many people are concerned with the presence of a low parasitic load. As long as the animal is healthy, feeding well and gaining weight it is typically of little consequence.
The exception to the above would be the presence of Hexamita. Deal with it quickly and thoroughly.
