I gave my little Foaly (13months old) a bath at the weekend and noticed a lot of lice eggs on him, esp in his mane. A few days after arriving at the yard I wormed him with the 5 day Panacur Guard as unsure of his worming history. I have since found out that there is something in it that can kill lice. But don't know if this is enough. Also the eggs are coming out as I brush him which leads me to think that they are dead.
I was wondering what people considered to be the best way of treating lice, esp in a horse of his age and due to his poor condition. The only time one of my horses were suspected of having lice we were given a lice powder from the vet but it turned out to be an allergy to straw rather than lice.
Would appreciate people thoughts on this.
