Strongid-C

[esppatty@juno.com (Patty Lambert)]

Can someone clear up a question for me? Are we allowed to compete  a
horse on Strongid-C? I was told a couple of years ago that I would have
to stop giving it a few days before the ride in order to not have any
testable levels. I discontinued it, and at the ride had problems - gut
sounds diminished - ended up pulling at 25, as he wasn't looking very
happy & not enough gut sounds. This was the first and only time he ever
had this or any metabolic problem. Since then, I've not put him back on
Strongid-C. One vet told me the problem was lkiely that I cut him off
cold turkey instead of tapering off the wormer. Anyone out there care to
comment?
