does the region where you are make a difference on what kind of worm to treat?…I live in the desert and my horse doesn’t graze

Meanwhile, while are these worming questions are very good, there’s absolutely no one answering them, so what’s the point of a comments section?

I think this an interesting article…..which makes me think now if I am not over dosing my horse with de-wormers. I do the paste every other month that is recommended, and I also, do a daily de-wormer “Strongid C”. Am I over dosing?

Interesting information, but at 65 for a farm call and also a office call added on, and then the cost of the fecal egg count, I can see this just an idea of bring more dollars in for different industries and the vets.

I only have one equine vet in the area and he does not have the equipment to do the fecal egg count. If that is the case should I continue doing rotational worming?

good article, but should show different treatments, times of year and regions of the country for what is needed and when.

This is a great article. We got a hanovarian mare (8 years old)we had her for two weeks and she died we had the vet test her for worms she was SUPER full of them. She died of parasite colic. We took her to a mdexaminer. She died of parasite colic, twisted intestines, and an colon full of rocks. The previous owner starved her horses and never dewormed them. She was 3 months pregnant we did not know this when we put her down. This article just shows that deworming and proper care is so important.
