My vet said the same thing -- a clear fecal test
doesn't necessarily mean that the horse does not need to be wormed, because not
all types/stages of worms will show up.

Seriously though. I used to do
fecals and the vet told me that you cannot always tell from a fecal if the
horse has worms unless really infested. She said that certain worms,
like tapeworm, don't show on a fecal. Is this my faulty memory or is there
some truth to this. I liked the idea of testing rather than dosing with
wormer but haven't done the fecals in quite some time because of what I was
told.
