Worming advice foal and pregnant mare

[Kdud]

Hi - does this sound like a good plan for a pregnant mare and 2 month old foal

5 Day Panacur Guard

6 - 8 weeks later

Equimax

6 - 8 weeks later

Eraquell

It was a bit of a rescue case so dont know when / if she has been wormed. Please let me know your thoughts
Thanks x

Hi

The mare you should worm as normal, just checking individual wormers to make sure they are suitable. Wormers say on them if they are suitable for a pregnant mare and foals.

Our vet advised us to worm our foals every four weeks, alternating between Panacur and an Ivermectin wormer.
