This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks Brian, for the very complete and good information. I think I will print this out and save it.
I did go ahead and worm them with Strongid paste and started back on the Daily wormer. When I get back from my next absence (Turlock?), the first part of October, I'll worm with Ivermectin, even though we don't have bots up here in Fairbanks (Yet). I haven't decided yet if I'll keep on the daily wormer throughout the winter (It gets expensive) but I feel my vet isn't trying to make money off it; to the contrary, he supplys the Strongid C2X at a cost below what I can get it elsewhere, especially when bought in quantity. (I think he gets more sleep at night with his clients using the Daily Strongid.....fewer colics?) Also, It may be my imagination, but it seems that old Bjarne, my 23 year old gelding who had a really big "hay belly" has trimmed down his belly a bit after almost a year on the Daily Strongid. His coat sure looked good this year, too! Now, if it would only stop raining long enough to dry up the corrals before freeze-up, and get sunny so the farmers here can get that second cutting of hay before it snows... Jean in soggy Fairbanks, Alaska (but some sun today!) where the Geese and Sandhill cranes are gathering in preparation for their flights South! FROST predicted tonight, cover those beans!
