Re: Re: [RC] Yet another Panacur Purge question - Stephanie E Caldwell

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?

I took Dawn's approach to getting Star to take her dewormer. I just about 
always put it in feed, she'll eat anything that has applesauce on top. >ggg< My 
vet told me that it's not as effective with food, that it should be done on an 
empty stomach, preferably in the morning. Any thoughts from the vets on that? 
When I did the Panacur Purge this past summer Star got a minor impaction and 
several minor colics from worm die offs, her worming history wasn't that great 
before I bought her, vet said that was pretty normal for adult horses with poor 
deworming history.
