    [RC] Tapeworms - sharp penny


      This issue of Horse and Rider (July) adresses tapeworms
    in relation to causing colic. They say you have basically 3
    options for controling tapeworms:
     1. give pyrantel pamoate (strongid p or t, or rotectin ll)
    at 2xs normal dose, 2 days in a row
     2. give pyrantel tartrate (strongid c or c2x) at 10xs
    normal dose 2 days in a row
     3. give an oral dose of canine tapeworm medication,
    praziquantel (Droncit) available from your vet.
    
    Options 1 & 2 replaces your horses reg deworming treatments
    in spring and fall. The Droncit is given in addition to the
    reg drworming treatmants but on a different day to avoid
    possible drug interactions.
    
    The article also says that there is better than a 50%
    chance that your horse is already infested with the
    parasite!

    Penny
