advice regarding possible pinworm

[erinjane_85]

hello everyone,
iv just come in from grooming my filly & whilst cleaning her dock i found this "worm" looking thing.
(after reading h&h mag 18th march it looks very like a pinworm & esp as it was coming out of her dock).

has anyone else had this with their horses & how did they treat it?

fortunately she is not shoing any other signs ie depression/itch tail but dont like the thought of her having them!

any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

have you treated her at all recently, I think vam on here has had a problem recently.

Most wormers will treat pinworm, anything ivermectin/moxidectin/pyrantel embonate/fenbendazole will all treat it as far as I can remember.
