Re: wormer suggestions
This message is from: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All, After my last posting about the tape worm cd. It occurred to me that it might be on line, yup! I, [not being a computer whiz] was able to get it in about five minutes on by dial-up, it might be even more up to date than the year old cd. So, if you want to do your horse a big favor, take a look at the Pfizer web, you will have to work your way through it...ohh, I don't work for Pfizer, only mentioning it for your equine, what ever it might be Regards, Jerry Friz, Ca..
Re: wormer suggestions
This message is from: Tamara Rousso [EMAIL PROTECTED] You are right Jerry - I don't know a thing about tape worms. Good thing you put your two cents in. I was speaking of the other varieties. Thanks for clarifying. tamara On Tuesday, August 31, 2004, at 04:31 PM, jerrell friz wrote: This message is from: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tamara wrote First get his stools tested to find out what kind of worm load you are up against. --- Hey Tamara, better check with your vet. testing for tapeworms using stool samples, don't think so, blood test only. If you take the time to view the cd-rom that I previously mentioned,, I believe you might have another opinion. Regards, Jerry Friz, Anderson, Ca.
RE: wormer suggestions
This message is from: jerrell friz [EMAIL PROTECTED] is there a wormer out there that is considered less toxic than the standards, --- Answering Laurie's question. there sure is, Called Herbal Tonic, by Dynamite , you can go to www.dynamiteonline.com look in horse products.. I use it every two months on my dogs, cats, horses. I have a 22 year old Aussie[ yup! 22,],, hard to believe. Never been vaccinated. There are only a few wormers that will kill the tapeworm. One is Equimax, I use this one when I have to,,I too,, try not to use a product with ivermectin in it. I do NOT use any product by FORT DODGE !!! Also Pfizer has a cd-rom [free] called the parasite puzzle [got mine at the local feed store]. I HIGHLY recommend viewing this, it addresses the tapeworm,now that new research is out on the tapeworm. A former client of mine lost her mare from tapes, she paid over 8k in vet. bills. My daughter was lucky, she still has her gelding, but, after 10k in vet. bills, again,, suspect,,, tapeworms. The only way to diagnose tapes is with a new blood test. Eggs are carried through a host mite in the grass. I suspect that the tapeworms cause ulcers deep down in the digestive system, this is where ivermectin can get into the blood. Hope this helps, Jerry Friz, Anderson, Ca.
Re: wormer suggestions
This message is from: Tamara Rousso [EMAIL PROTECTED] Laurie - [Disclaimer: My opinion and herd practice management style. Not intended to be taken as the only way to do it.] First get his stools tested to find out what kind of worm load you are up against. It is usually only about $10. If it is significant I would say you need the big guns (i.e. chemical wormers). When his worm load is under control that is the time to switch to herbal wormers. The herbals do a better job of discouraging worms as opposed to eradicating them. You can find several equine herbal wormers by doing a Google for it. I have had really good luck with Molly's Herbals at www.fiascofarm.com .
