Great post, Heather. Does the company who makes Panacur officially recommend 
the 5-day consecutive dosing you mention? I've never heard of doing that but 
would like to follow up on it. Speaking as a horse owner who in th past has 
had a number of horses colic in late spring (and they weren't on green 
pasture), it makes me want to investigate possible chinks in my worming 
regime.

The deworming you speak of with panacur is not a "purge" but should form 
part of an annual deworming program.  The idea of 5 days panacur is to 
target encysted red worm larvae which over-winter in the walls of the 
intestine, liver, and heart.  There is a massive exodus of these larvae in 
the spring which can provoke occlusions and colic.

Liquid panacur 10% given at NORMAL dose (7,5ml/100kg live weight) is the 
only wormer which will target 100% of encysted worm larvae and should be 
given in Nov/Dec (recommendations for Europe).  Equest will also target 
encysted larvae and Fort Dodge say it will hit 80% of the larvae.

In the UK there is a product called Panacur Guard which is essentially 
liquid panacur which provides the correct dose for this treatment.  I think 
you also have a new product on the market in the US which does the same 
thing.

Strongic C will not touch encysted worm larvae, neither will ivermectin in 
any of its forms.

Hope this helps.

   Can anyone tell me what exactly "purge" deworming w/ double dose panacur 
daily for 5 days does?  I'd heard it is good to do this once/year then 
deworm as usual every 2 months.
   does purge deworming get the encysted strongyles?  better than 
strongid-C?
   thanks
