I usually worm anything new and unknown with Pancure 5 Day and then follow it up with an equitape, but mentioned this to a friend last night and she said that there was a high resistance to Panacure now and she wouldn't bother using it.

New pony looks well, but has terribly loose droppings and wasn't wormed in the 2 years the previous owner had it so I imagine it's got a pretty high worm burden. As a result, I am reluctant to put a pramox down her.

Does anyone routinely still use Panacure?
 
I did Kira with Panacur and then an equitape several weeks later.. and that was followed up with an acceptably low worm count.
she was the picture of health when she arrived apart from being extremely fat but she had a sky high worm burden so this was the approach that was recommended. She joined the equest-based programme that the others were on after that.
 
Thanks MP. She looks well in herself, not too fat or too thin, but does get tucked up at times and has had loose droppings since she arrived, but that could be partly the change in home/grass/routine etc, as she's quite an anxious pony.

I'll do the 5 day then equitape a few weeks later. Others are on the equest program, so hopefully she can slot into that afterwards.
 
We have a problem with resistant redworm on our yard and the vet approach for anything with unknown history is panacur and then equest pramox.

Her view is that equest is needed but if a horse has a high work count they could colic on it. So panacur to shift the bulk then equest to finish the job!
 
FEC, then worm with 5 day Panacur if needed than another FEC at a suitable interval to see if it's worked.

I'd be reluctant to use Pramox, or even Equest, when I don't know what the burden is. In fact if I'm honest I'm reluctant to use them anyway.
