    Re: [RC] Panacur purge for boarded horse - suendavid


    What I was taught in vet school, and in practice during externships, is that 
    the only way to deworm your horse wrong is to not deworm at all.  Depending on 
    the product being used at your boarding barn, it may or may not get all the 
    parasites prevalent in your area.  In any case, most won't get the tapes that 
    a panacur purge will, although tapes don't cause major damage as other species 
    do.  I would just do the purge and ask that your kid not get the routine 
    deworming that time around.  If money is tight, or it's not convenient to get 
    out there...don't lose sleep over it.
    
    Please also pass along my compliments to the management that they have the 
    responsibility and concern to automatically deworm all the horses on the 
    property.  I wish everywhere did, and it sure is nice hearing stories of 
    responsible managment. :-)
