Given how strange our winter weather has been so far, very wet and mild, should we be doing anything differently with regards to worming regimes? This weather is more like autumn than winter...
Thanks

I don't think we can.. all we can do is stick to the routine of months rather than waiting for the first frost

We did have a few days of frost at the beginning of the winter, so wormed then thank goodness!
If it were me I would wait a couple of weeks, because it is due to get a bit colder - though if temperatures don't drop enough in your part of the country then I would worm by the end of January anyway.

We're going to worm for encysted redworm next week - hopefully after this much-vaunted frost - if the frost doesn't arrive, we're worming anyway. We'll saliva test for tapeworm when the kits arrive (also next week) and do a faecal egg count in the spring for everything else . . . the weather is very backwards/topsy turvy, but the risk of redworm is (IMHO) too great not to worm at this time of year.
