Re: Quest

I had used Quest at the recommendation of my vet clinic starting in the 
Fall.  They heard wonderful things about it.  So I used it in November 
and again at the end of January.  By February my TB, Star, had lost so 
much weight it was alarming!  I kept blamming the weather,  the feed, 
etc.  Finally the barn owner said what are you worming him with ... and 
I said the new Quest.  She said get him off it immediately and do a 
quick rotation of a mild wormer for 3 days and then re-worm him in 30 
days with Ivermectrin or Zemectrin.  So I asked her why!  And she told 
me that anyone she knows that has wormed with Quest has had this massive 
weight loss in their horses.  She does not feel it is a coincidence.  I 
was going to have his stool check by the vet, but I also had my peruvian 
paso coming around this time, so I just did the 3 day rotation and then 
in 30 days I used Invermectrin.
At this time we also started him on a custom horse feed to try to get 
weight back on him.  Well today, my Stud Muffin TB looks like he is 
worth a million bucks!  Absolutely magnificent.

Now I can't say for sure if using the Quest caused him to go down hill 
this winter.  All I know is it didn't happen until I used Quest.  So at 
this point I am staying away from it.
