Worming

[gummybear]

I am such a naughty mummy! I moved yards beginning of this summer and at my old yard wormers were delivered to my stable whenever they were due. As I havent had this service - I have just realised that I havent wormed my horsey since the end of March this year, when he had Equest! I feel so bad that I havent done him - but prior to this, he has always been religiously done. I am also so out of touch with what I should be giving him now. Am so conscious, that I feel I must get him wormed this weekend, then will look at getting a worm count done next month. Should I just continue with Equest wormer and go from there?

Ring your vet they will be best to advise, as there are so many diffrent wormers. x

I would do it the other way round. Worm count immediately and then worm accordingly. If you worm now you won't be able to worm count accurately for weeks. You might find that he hasn't got worms if you've been poo picking.

 

[gummybear]

We poo pick fields on a daily basis and everything that he is out with is wormed on a rota so they are done regularly

If you're sharing a field with others then you'll need to find out what they are using and then slot into their programme.

Agree completely with DWI. Get a worm count done then, if worming is required, slot in with the yards programme.

i would do equest now that will take you to nov when you can worm with promox then for tape worms bots mainly but that wormer will cover the rest as well!
