Last year I had a worm egg count done for my tb x. He was 6 then. A good doer but never has nice poos always loose in varying degrees.
He is a good doer though.
He had a blood test done at the same time but all was fine.
The egg count was high, so he had a course of steroids and a 5 day course of panacur.
The next egg court was about right.
He was wormed regularly with pramox, panacur etc through out the year.
He was on box rest for 14 weeks, still being wormed as normal.
His loosness did improve.
He was allowed turn out from about 5 weeks ago.
He is well and getting fit, but looseness has worsened again.
I've changed his food the last few months now settling on pure feeds.
He is turned out in a big herd of 15 gelding in a large winter field which we do not muck pick.
In summer same herd different field, muck picked but still a bit patchy with muck!
Not everyone muck picks, us that do it, do our best.
Just had another worm count and its extremely high!
Now we have another course of steroids, pramox and then another test to decide what to do.
My older boy is clear! Totally unfair.
Sorry soo long!
Any ideas?
