You might want to consider getting a fecal egg count done by your vet as
well. That will give you a fairly good idea of the potential worm load and how best to tackle it. Here it costs about the same as a wormer.


It is my understanding that the biggest danger in a Panacur Purge comes from the die off of huge numbers of worms. For a horse that's being wormed regularly, the purge, in spring or fall usually, is great. But if you don't have a handle on how badly infested the horse is, again from what I've heard, not personal experience, it could be extremely dangerous to purge, even fatal.

If that's not right, someone with more experience with the purge please jump in and correct me.
