In the 5yrs I've had my horse his worm counts have always come back as less than 50, no eggs seen, so I was horrified 3 weeks ago when the results came back as 950 (medium count). He react quite badly to vaccinations, wormers etc. so I decided the least risky plan was to use panacur equine guard and then re-test afterwards to check for resistance.
3 weeks went by before I ordered the panacur so I decided to do another worm count, just so I had an accurate result immediately before he was wormed. I took the sample yesterday, received the results this morning and was very surprised to read 'less than 50, no eggs seen in sample'.
Can anyone explain why this might have happened? Just for the record I am awaiting advise from my vet and the lab that tested the samples, but I interested to know if anyone else has ever experienced unexpected results?
