    Only problem, Ginger, is that when you have the feces checked, it will not show encysted parasites and although you may get a fairly clear reading, it might not be an accurate indication. That is why the "Panacur Purge" is so important.

    I hate to disagree but I have been informed that the only time that deworming a horse is necessary is, indeed when the horse has worms.  This makes perfect sense to me.  Why shove ingredients down a horse's throat when that is not natural for the horse when they don't need it.  The best way to check if a horse has worms is to have their feces checked by someone who knows what to look for.  I have had my horses checked and have discovered that none on my horse have worms so what's the point.  Trust me, if one of them did, the whole lot of them would be dewormed ASAP but so far, so good!  Worm free here!

    If anyone is out here in the Southern California region that is interested in this let me know.  I know of someone who will provide this service at a reasonable cost!  She will also tell you exactly how to collect the feces also.

    Just my opinion!  :-)  I'm sure I'll get arguements!  LOL  I see a good debate coming!
