Wormer for my horse2007-11-24 21:23:28

we worm our horses according to our vet's recommendations--every 6 months with two doses given approx 3 - 4 weeks apart. also we get our wormer from the vet so he knows what we are using and he does rotate every time we worm them. 2 doses of one type in the spring and 2 doses of another type in the fall. since you do not OWN this horse you have no right giving it anything unless you clear it with the owners first.

make sure you tell the owners so that they know that he's being wormed regularly; this can keep a horse from overdose, for example he's actually upd't on deworming bnut you don't know it cuz they don't tell you.
