[RC] "Panacur purge" - Heidi Smith

The 5-day DOUBLE dose of Panacur or Safeguard sounds
expensive.

Safeguard, at 11 cents per  ml (when you buy it as a 1000 ml bottle) x 46 ml
per double dose (for 1000# horse--obviously less for smaller ones) x 5 days
= $25.30, which isn't all that expensive.

Will giving a double or triple dose of Pyrantel wormer
be just as effective and not as expensive?

No.  That's for tapes, but is not effective against the encysted strongyles.
I dunno what a dose of pyrantel costs, but if it doesn't work doubled or
tripled, it isn't cheaper.

Heidi
