    Wormer question

    My Vet suggested doing a purge on Jet. So I need to order a Panacur powerpack.
    Since that is Fenbendazole I need to follow with Ivermectin for Jet's next scheduled worming. But that throws my rotation off with Tonto. So instead of Fenbendazole/Safeguard next for Tonto, can I do Pyrantel Pamoate instead? Then back to the Fenbendazole, Ivermectin rotation???

    That all just gave me a headache. [sm=lame.gif]

    MK - I'm sure that'll be fine.   Why is he purging Jet?
     
    That was a mouthfull wasn't it?!  Wow!  [:D]

    We were talking about it during my "Ask the Vet a million questions session" and he thought with the impaction history and mysterious sweating episodes it would not be a bad idea.
    Does anyone disagree?

    I don't know enough about impactions to know the benefit of purging a horse after one.  But, I'd have to take his advice on it.  Have you asked R?
     
    I'd like to hear what he has to say on the subject, or anyone else with experience with this.
     
    I stand by what I said regarding Tonto's worming.  I'm sure he'll be fine. [:)]

    I think you're stressing out about it way too much! LOL! You won't hurt your horses if your rotation schedule gets messed up.

    Thanks guys!
    Shirley, you think I'm stressed![sm=eek.gif] Now whatever would make you think that?? My horses don't cause me stress!![sm=rotfl.gif]
    I asked R and he was indifferent about the purge.

    R's good people :o)  I say, go for it, and then don't worry about Tonto's change in worming routine.  .... It's not what YOU do to him, rather what he manages to do to himself! [;)]
