[RC] resistant worms - NancyI have been a bad horse mom. I let this go too far and now Lyric has rubbed her tail almost off. My vet tells me it is due to resistant pin worms. Has anyone had this too? I am told the worms are resistant to ivermectin. My vet started noticing this last spring and Lyric was one of her early cases. I have done a 5 day Panacur purge and she is still rubbing. The next step is to give a dose of Strongid orally and rectally, wash the butt once or twice a day (to remove the saliva, etc) and oral anit-itch RX ( sorry can not remember the name starts with an A). Any other ideas? Should I get her a tail "wig"? Feeling very guilty. I am concerned that Lyric should not compete ( LD) until a week or two after she stopping itching to avoid metabolic problems. Am I nuts? Any ideas?
