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. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
