Worming help?

[phoebe.and.bonnie]

Hello, I've recently started my mare Bonnie on a reduced worming programme with worm counts. The last two counts have come back as < 50 epg/no eggs seen, but I'm aware that I still need to worm for tapeworms. I have also heard that I should use a winter dose of Equest for encysted redworm.

Assuming her next counts are negative, should I:
1. Worm with Equitape in September, and Equest in December.
2. Worm with Equest Pramox in December to deal with tapeworms as well

Help is much appreciated, thank you

Either way would cover it, though September is rather early for your tapes dose, better left till Oct/Nov.
Sounds like it is going well for you.

Thanks I might just see what works out cheaper, and move the tapeworm dose back a bit if I do use the Equitape.
