This is a question I've had in the back of my mind for awhile.  I commonly 
will not worm my horses with either a wormer such as Ivermectin or the 
other regular paste wormers within a week of a competition either before 
or after, (but mostly before) and I don't ride them the day or next day 
after I give it.  Am I being too conservative?  I have it in my head that 
the deworming is stressful on their bodies and would cause some type of 
problem.   I don't have a clue what the problem would be, but I'm just 
careful.  Could any of 
the Vets on the list (I hope you're still out there) let me know what 
they recomend?  Thanks.
