Its called purging because ivermectin gets everything
except the encysted ones, but its just the normal dose, at least that's my
understanding of it. That's why I use Strongid daily dewormer, because as
soon as you purge, all those encysted worms (strongyles) hatch out and move to
the gut. the strongid C daily wormers take care of those little buggers so
the horse never has to deal with an infestation. I sure wish someone would
clue me in on the lifecycle of those blasted bots, though. I'd really like
to know how long after the eggs are ingested it takes for the maggots to hatch
out.

Hi Debra, yeah that is what I was thinking. How
long, and I'd think we wouldn't want to wait long cause there could
be damage to their stomachs. I just did a regular worming of
ivermectin just in case. As far as purging...are they talking
about a larger dose that what is normally given? or does it
have to do with the timing of more than one dose?
Just wondering. I appreciate you keeping me posted...thanks a
bunch!!
