Has anyone used it, and have they gone by the rule "no turn out for 3 days"?

 

[cornwallexracers]

Yep I've used it on mine. I was a bit wary as I'd heard it could make their droppings like water, but we didn't have any problems at all with that. It made life so much easier as my old lad is a nightmare to worm so we only had to battle once to get it down him!

 

[Emma27]

is that what it tells you to do??? Equimax does tapworm and other stuff in a single dose too never had any probs with that

 

[Mudsplasher]

I used it a couple of weeks ago . We kept him in for the 3 days as he was on the tail end of box rest anyway.Had no problems with it .

 

[lucysnapshot]

iv used it before with no problems, didnt leave mine in for 3days tho

I've used it twice now, certainly haven't kept them in though! Where does it say that? Is it on the box? I just get given a syringe by my YO and stuff it down my horse, don't bother reading anything!

its says on the leaflet in the pack ""in order to limit the impact of moxidectin on dung fauna and due to insufficient data regarding environmental risk of praziquantel, horses should not be turned out onto pasture within 3 days of treatment"

But im thinking thats just precautionary?

I've just used it for the first time on our pony. Have to admit i didn't read about the 3 day rule and he was turned out as usual. He did have loose droppings for a day though, which i had read was one of the side effects.

Just brought some for our new horse we picked up yesterday - will be keeping in for a couple of days. Think the clause is more to cover their backs as so new a drug.

Well Woody had it saturday night, and yesterday prob pooed most of it out while we was out competing. He does get a runny excited bum on days out in the lorry. But all was fine yesterday afternoon and he went out in the field with the rest of the herd.

My yard has used this and we have all sorts of horses from a shetland to a horse of 29.... none of them had any adverse reactions to it and yes we kept them in for 3 days, much to their disgust!!!!

I've used it on a small shettie, and his poo was sooo runny. He had a mild colic, but that was because I think he'd had a dubious worming history.
I'd definately use it again.
