RE: [RC] general info on deworming. - heidi

Large Roundworms, roundworms, and ascarids are all common names of the
scientific name of "parascaris equorum." Oxibendazole, ivermectin, and
fenbendazole will all kill them. Most of the labels have the scientific
names as  well as the common names.

A lot of drugs will kill roundworms, actually.  And although ivermectin
will get some of them, it doesn't have a good kill rate, so it isn't the
drug of choice for younguns (since that's where you find most of the
roundworms.)  Fenbendazole actually does pretty well on roundworms, as
does old-fashioned piperazine.
