    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.
