Re: [RC] Yet another Panacur Purge question - heidiI have had better luck with syringing the straight fenbenzadole, than using paste wormers. However, I am tall, and my daughter helps. Our method is to have a person on each side; she steadies head, and I poke syringe in mouth (horse's head is already somethat high as they are apalled at the whole idea). Once I empty syringe, her job is to elevate their head until their mouth is higher than throat so liquid goes down. This is one process I can say in all modesty, that we have down to a science; we are the syringing queens! If I remember right, you are giving about 46cc....out of a 60cc syringe. Iguess you could fill rest of syringe with pancake syrup to disguise it.. Karen Being short and having to work alone much of the time, I much prefer that they never get appalled at the idea in the first place, and never elevate their heads. Therefore I never use a large syringe--nothing over 20 ml (12 ml preferred)--even if it means I have to refill it a few times and give more than one "dose". I find I can stand quietly by the side of their head (even the green younguns), reach underneath with my right hand to cup up over the bridge of their nose, and quietly slip the smaller syringe into the corner of their mouth from behind and underneath (after first sticking a finger in the corner of the mouth to get them used to the idea that something can be stuck in there and it isn't any big deal). I've not had a problem with them spitting it out, even if I don't elevate their heads much--if they aren't upset, I can change the direction of the syringe after I start the end of it into the corner of the mouth, and actually get the stuff back in 3-4 inches.
