If the wrong wormer is given what is a safe interval to wait until giving the correct one? Equest was given rather than Equest pro max.
As ester says either tape count or double dose strongid-p but if wait a while until the first frost hits, tape is supposed to be done then.
ah I forget that you can get praziquantel from vets still

Sorry, bit of a hijack.Vet told me a gap of 3 weeks between products when we discussing a horse who had never been wormed. I'd done a double dose of Strongid P and his poo was full of dead tape worm for 3 days. ?
I don't think it's hugely common to see worms in droppings tbh, one of mine currently returns medium redworm counts regularly and I see them in his droppings about 36 hours after worming but I've never had that with any other horse before.Sorry, bit of a hijack.
I did a tapeworm test and it came back high (equest pramox 12 months ago, no previous tapeworm test) so I wormed with Equimax as recommended but I never saw any tapeworm in his poo. I assume they are obvious?
It's a bit shocking when you do see a lot of worms. When I wormed a newly bought yearling Fell his droppings were a solid mass of tangled up ascarids a foot long ? and a mare I got off the fell the pooed out a mass of redworms. Quite horrible the numbers there.I don't think it's hugely common to see worms in droppings tbh, one of mine currently returns medium redworm counts regularly and I see them in his droppings about 36 hours after worming but I've never had that with any other horse before.
