RE: [RC] general info on deworming. - heidiLarge Roundworms, roundworms, and ascarids are all common names of the scientific name of "parascaris equorum." Oxibendazole, ivermectin, and fenbendazole will all kill them. Most of the labels have the scientific names as well as the common names. A lot of drugs will kill roundworms, actually. And although ivermectin will get some of them, it doesn't have a good kill rate, so it isn't the drug of choice for younguns (since that's where you find most of the roundworms.) Fenbendazole actually does pretty well on roundworms, as does old-fashioned piperazine.
