I wormed my horses with Equimax 2 days ago, having never used this product before, have always gone on vets advice and that was for equest/pramox. Tonight when checking the field after feeding I came across a poo that had a MASSIVE (what I believe to be) roundworm on further checking the same horse had deficated another smaller worm. The horse is 9yrs old!
I am going to vets tomorrow to ask advice over further treatment or if the single dose of wormer is sufficient to "do the job" in full.
I was just wondering if anyone has any advice or what the vets said/did when this has arisen, this is the first time I have ever come across worms in my horses after worming, my fields are poo picked daily/everyother day, they aren't overgrazed but the horses have spent the best part of winter at a livery in a herd not in my field due to circumstance!
I am sitting here currently panicked that I may get to the field tomorrow and see my boy is the worse for it having looked at some cases on the internet! I am kicking myself for not having looked into the worming programmes more indepth and changed wormers every year (when they needed them due to counts)
Sorry for the essay just a tad worried!
