SEVERE rection to wormer - please read

The horse had been wormed over the year according to the Equest program at the correct times and with the Pramox at the correct times and so there shouldn't have been a large worm burden - especially of redworm at this time of year - IF the wormer had been working for this horse.

There was another horse at the yard which showed a similar although not such a severe reaction at the same time.

I think it is vastly important to worm and that people should not stop worming but they must think about what they are doing when they worm.
 
I dont worm often. my lot get wormed as they need it. i get worm counts and blood tests done to check for worms, if they dont need worming then they wont get wormed and if they do get wormed we use the herbal wormer called vermx or something like that.
Last time we used a chemical wormer (before we had heard of the herbal one) my little old pony went down with colic (it was equest as well) and one of my others was unwell. and they were not particularly wormy at the time, but enough that i wanted to worm.
