Hey, I was wondering if I could get some help with a deworming schedule. I’ve tried reading about it online but most of it doesnt make sense or seems conflicting. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I dewormed Jazz today with Zimecterin® GOLD which contains 1.55% Ivermectin and 7.75% praziquantel. I was planning on deworming him next with Panacur® Paste 10% which contains the anthelmintic and 10% fenbendazole. Is that ok? Do I need to go to something with Pyrantel Pamoate (STRONGID® Paste) or (Oxibendazole) ANTHELCIDE® EQ? Or can I go back to the Zimecterin Gold? How dependent are dewormers on the time of year? It seems like Zimecterin Gold is a once a year for bots and tapeworms then fill the rest of the year with the other dewormers. Is that right? When is the next time I can safely deworm. I couldn’t find anywhere that said whether the Zimecterin Gold was a 8-10 or 10-12 week dewormer.
A vet recommended Zimecterin Gold origionally which is why I got that in the first place. Now I’m not so sure what to do or if that was right?
Thanks
Katie
That doesn’t really work though because horses get there feet done about every 4-6 weeks. Dewormers, depending on the brand and active ingredient, can cover 4-6 weeks, 6-8 weeks, 8-10 weeks, or 10-12 weeks.
