blood test and high eosinophils

[kirsty 1]

Just wondering if anybody else hase any experience with this my horse has been realy quite espesialy over the summer so i decided to have her blood tested and the results came back that she was realy high in eosinophils whitch the vet said it cauld be caused by a worm burden or a elergic reaction the first thing i did was had a egg count done whitch were fine as i regulary worm but i gave her a 5 day panacure as advised by the vet now the weather is getting a little colder shes perked up a bit but if it is a elergic reaction to somthing in the summer maybe pollern or rape as where near lots of farms and fields i dont no if theres anything that can be done .

Any other symptoms? Itching, sores...etc etc?

Have you had her blood-tested for tape worm?

no other syptoms no itching or snoty nose and she defanatly doesnt have worms and now the weather has cooled down and all the crops have been harvested shes allot better

Referring to alesea's post, neither the wormer you have given her, or the egg count will treat or confirm/eliminate tapeworm. It is worth looking at tapes.
