[RC] white spots - Mom Alexander

Several years ago my chestnut gelding developed lots of little white spots all over him. It happened suddenly, almost overnight.  No symptoms of sickness, but I called my vet.  After I described the white spots, he asked me if I'd just dewormed with Moxydectin (Quest gel), and I had just 2 or 3 days before !!!  He said it was not a sign of an adverse drug reaction, but he had seen lots of horses get white spots after using this product. Only one of my three horses did this.  I switched to Zimectrin Gold.  The white spots finally went away (after 6 or 8 months) and haven't been back since.  Ask your vets if they too have seen this happen with Moxydectin use.
