Pramox now or wait? Medium FEC

[Snow Falcon]

I have advised by my vet that Panacur Guard has 90% resistance to encysted redworm. I have a youngster off the forest with pinworm. Current advice was 5 day course P.Guard for the pinworm followed by Pramox for the encysted. (I have already wormed for tapeworm) so will do Equest instead.

If you are worming with different active ingredients vet advised that this can be done 2 weeks apart.

I would always recommend seeking professional advice on health matters.

Horses for courses?
That’s sound when vets are specialist and up to date and experienced. Their actual experience makes a big difference affecting their advice, too.
Our vet does not recommend Pramox (with two active ingredients) because of his experience with adverse reactions, also advises c. 1 month between different categories of wormer - unless moxidectin, of course.
Also provided the last course of P.Guard used here, cold snap last month.
Worm prevalence and resistance do vary - is there much pinworm c. New Forest?

I personally wouldn't use Pramox on a pony coming straight off the forest which I said to vet which is what she advised initially. They had had a worming expert talk recently and that's where the advice came from for the.P. Guard for pinworm. Another vet practice advised against P.Guard and recommended Pramox for another pony I had as PG they said was too harsh on the stomach!!

Other commoners may do different but I double dose mine with Strongid P straightaway then follow up with Equest later. She's the first one I've had where I've noticed the pinworm whilst on the forest so can't comment about how prevalent it may/may not be.

Many of the ponies develop their own resistance and wouldn't get wormed often.

Definitely horses for courses then, plus owners’ experience at least as relevant as the vets’.
Glad it’s working for you, pyrantel also has considerable reported resistance, one reason for rise in popularity of praziquantel instead.
If they’re naturally roaming distances, that’s got to be healthier anyway, and Forest ponies are tough little types.
