I cannot speak for horses, as we have never used anything but synthetic
wormers on them. However, when I was younger and living in B.C. I nursed back
to health an abandoned and near dead Doberman that I named Joker.

Sue,
A quick two cents worth, I agree with all those who say tobacco is not
the way to go. Poison is poison. 1 tsp. of garlic added to grain for the

The active ingredient is nicotine-it is also used an insecticide in gardens.
Pretty hard to dose and by no means as safe as the commercial wormers-there
you can have a 10x overdose

Tobacco can be used as a pesticide. I know people that grind up chewing
tobacco, mix it with water and spray it on their garden plants.
I wouldn't count on it to kill intestinal parasites though. The amount

Jon,
Thank you. I appologize that I haven't been more available lately. The
West Nile outbreak kept me very busy. Then I moved into a new clinic in
December, so I've been busy getting that operating. I'll try to keep up
with the list now.

I just had a problem with the term "chemical". The active ingredient in
the Strongid wormers is used in people as well, even small children. I
would think that if it were mild enough for a child it would be safe for
a large horse. I'm interested to know what is the active ing

May I begin by saying that I never said don't de-worm your horse. Mine are on
a regular program but using natural de-wormers. I choose not to vaccinate
because I do believe there is allot of harm from vaccines.

Jean,
I couldn't have said it better myself. Good job.
One thing I might add. Sue, you said you were going to worm again in 3
months. Maybe you should go every 6 weeks. Or if you have a high
parasite load
rming agents when they are in the
intestine, only after doing their damage during migration. They continually
enter the intestine from body tissues, so worming for one day is only
effective that day. By the next day, another batch will have entered, after
the worming drug has passed through

Hello,
Who does your worming? Personally, I have run into many people in our area
who do their own wormings, but really do not know how to do it correctly!
There are many things to consider, worming paste rotations, weight of horse,
what type of schedu

it full of worms. He had wormed a month or so before that with Ivermectin.
We had also wormed Storm before he coliced in November. He too had worms in
a stool sample. What is going on here? Are the worms becoming resistant to
the wormers? We wormed with Ivermectin before Christmas

I read that the horses that "usually" have a problem with the daily wormers
are endurance horses. Wish I could remember WHY they have this problem, but
I don't.

Denise,
Last summer, I started all 4 of my horses on the daily wormer thinking this
would work better. One of my horses -- the older one--- didn't do well with
it, so I took all of them off and went back to the pasteing. The vet told me
that the daily
quot; horses asked, "what kind of PONIES are those?" i educated
them.
do any of you have an opinion about the paste wormers vs. the daily
pellets you add to their chow with worming meds in it? (strongcid c)
i especially like a vet's ideas on this. and more about frog loss.
