RE: [RC] Tapeworms - Snodgrass, Bonnie

I just wormed a young horse I've had just a few months for tapes (double
dose of pyrantel) and he was loaded with tapes. His manure was full of dead
tapes. I've seen this numerous times with other horses. Pyrantel wormer is
the only wormer that I've seen used in the USA for tapes. There are a couple
other wormers that will kill them, usually used on small animals. Saw one
that is sold in the UK that I believe wasn't Pyrantel based. Seems that no
wormers in this country are made for worming horses for tapes. No claims on
the mfgrs side to kill tapes. But a double or triple dose of pyrantel is
safe and effective. Just a laymans perspective.

The question of tapeworms in horses came up on another list.  I have some 
questions for this list.

1)  How common are tapeworms in horses?
2)  Is Strongid the only wormer that treats tapes?
2)  If so, why?
