Re: [RC] New Filly with Diahrrea - Rae CallawayI worm my mares with Zimectrin before the foal nurses and I haven't had foal scours since I started that practice.

I wormed the mare the day after foaling and again 10 days later, making sure it was a wormer for pregnant or lactating mares. NO SQUIRTS. 2 fillys one colt, 2 different mamas. Neighbor had filly who had squirts on about 6th day. Cleaned her up carefully, used lots of Desitin, and encouraged owner to repeat numerous times a day. Gave filly probiotic orally and then gave her about 30cc's of Pepto Bismal, with a repeat about 20 hours later. Everything got back to normal and the scalding on butt healed up quickly. I couldn't convince her to worm the mare. I don't remember where I learned to worm the mare so soon after foaling, but I owe R. Vince Jessup, DVM of Burbank for alot of what I have learned. Perhaps he gave me this gem, also. I really miss him, as he passed in spring of 2001. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
