Re: [RC] Panacur purge for boarded horse - suendavid
What I was taught in vet school, and in practice during externships, is that
the only way to deworm your horse wrong is to not deworm at all. Depending on
the product being used at your boarding barn, it may or may not get all the
parasites prevalent in your area. In any case, most won't get the tapes that
a panacur purge will, although tapes don't cause major damage as other species
do. I would just do the purge and ask that your kid not get the routine
deworming that time around. If money is tight, or it's not convenient to get
out there...don't lose sleep over it.
Please also pass along my compliments to the management that they have the
responsibility and concern to automatically deworm all the horses on the
property. I wish everywhere did, and it sure is nice hearing stories of
responsible managment. :-)
