wormer oops

[TddWil@aol.com]

I have 3 geldings that are on a regular worming schedule that includes 
rotation of the chemicals used. I did a 5 day panacur purge for the encysted 
worms at the beginning of the month. The one horse had been gelded about 6 
weeks ago. He had required bute for a couple weeks to keep him moving - it 
snowed right after he was cut and he stiffened up- but other than a slight 
weight loss he was back to normal, bouncing around like an idiot. A few days 
after the worming was finished he showed colic signs and was dehydrated. 
Banamine and an IV got him back on his feet and he is improving but still 
lethargic. Bloodwork showed anemia and low white cell count. The other horses 
are fine. I didn't realize his system could still be run down and how 
stressful worming can be. Poor Knothead probably thinks I'm trying to kill 
him.
