Re: [RC] Yet another Panacur Purge question - RDCARRIE

I just ordered (for the first time) some fenbendazole
suspension liquid (Safe-Guard) for the boys' five-day
purge. One of them is really picky about the taste of
whatever I'm squirting in his mouth. For those of you
who do the purge this way, have your horses reacted
negatively to the taste, or does it seem akin to
water? Have any of you added anything to the
Safe-Guard for taste?

Five of our horses react to it about like they do normal paste wormers, that 
is, with horror at the thought that we're trying to poison them.  <G>  The 
usual raised heads, pinched lips, etc.  But it's so liquidy that it's actually 
harder for them to spit out - just tip their heads up and they have to swallow 
it.  The sixth horse, my 3 yr old gelding, was being a snotball and I was by 
myself trying to dose everyone, so after the first night I just squirted his 
dose in his food and he ate it with no problem, so I don't know that it tastes 
too bad.  Of course, he'd probably eat a pan of dirt and sawdust if I sat it in 
front of him. <G>  Food is his life...shouldn't have any problem with him in 
the eating department once he starts doing rides.  :)
