How much wormer do you use on a 1800lb draft horse2007-11-24 21:16:06

The wormers I have seen in the feed stores are for 1200lbs horses. So what if your horse is a lot larger then that? Thanks for your answers

Answers:

Unfortunately for you, you will have to buy two of the same dewormer. The good news is that you can save what ever is left over until the next time you use that brand. Make sure to check the expiration date and put the cap back on the tube after you give it to your horse. Store it in a cool dry place. Since your horse weighs 1800 lbs., give him the full 1200 tube and then give him 600 lbs. worth of the second tube. Hope this helped.

You should buy the double pack and give him one whole. Give him a 600 pound dose of the next one. Put the cap back on the syringe and put it back in the box. Keep it in a cool, dry place until the next de-worming.

Hope this helped!

The tubes are notched for every so many pounds - for easy math let's say every 200 lbs. There's a lock-dial to administer only "so much" medicine (in case you have a 900 lbs horse - you don't want to overdose either).

that said, if each tube is enough for 1200 lbs - then you'll need to buy 2 tubes - but administer only 1 1/2 tubes.

give your horse the dose for 1200 lbs and then give him a four a dose of another dose for 1200lbs. it should work. byegood luck

Oh take him to a qualified vet instead of asking unqualified strangers on the internet! What is wrong with you? They haven't seen your horse, let alone examined him, and they can't make medical diagnoses.
