Part 2 to my worming poll....

[Scampi]

Just spoken to previous owner and she has my lad on the Equest and Equest Pramox programme.

He had Equest Pramox in April so she said he will need equest this month, then pramox in Oct and Equest in Jan.

That sound about right? ive had him about 6-7 weeks so can i just buy a equest and give him it?

How long has she had him on it?
You should implement a three year worming plan, every year using different active ingredients or the worms can develop a resitance to the wormer.

For example...

That's fine. There are different thoughts on the Equest/Pramox programme. It is claimed it can be used every year, there are some who say to use something different every third year and some who say to change yearly.
I would carry on with the programme for this year anyhow.

I would carry on for now and then worm count to see where you are at!

Don't waste your money on Equest this time of year if you trust what she's saying.
Simple ivermectin wormer at £5 is adequate.
