Re: [RC] Yet another Panacur Purge question - RDCARRIE

When I did the Panacur Purge this past summer Star got a minor impaction and 
several minor colics from worm die offs, her worming history wasn't that 
great before I bought her, vet said that was pretty normal for adult horses 
with poor 
deworming history.

We always hit them with an Ivermectin wormer about a week before we do the 
purge to knock off the worst of the worms, then do the purge to get the 
encycsted small strongyles.  Most are on daily Strongid anyway, so should not 
have a heavy load, but we still worry about a sudden die-off causing colics.

I'd be interested to hear if there is a benefit to doing the purge on an empty 
stomach versus with food...as much as that stuff costs, we definitely want to 
get the most bang for our buck!
