Deworming horses is a serious matter and should only be done under the supervision of a qualified veterinarian.
Here's why:
* Different dewormers work in different ways and have different side effects. Your veterinarian can determine the best dewormer based on the type of parasites your horse is infected with, their age, health status, and any medications they are currently taking.
* Overuse of dewormers can lead to resistance. This means the dewormers become less effective, making it harder to control parasites.
* Improper dosage can be dangerous. A veterinarian can accurately calculate the correct dosage for your horse's weight and age.
Here's what you should do:
1. Contact your veterinarian. Discuss your horse's health history, symptoms, and any concerns you have about parasites.
2. Follow your veterinarian's instructions. This includes the specific type of dewormer, dosage, and frequency of administration.
3. Monitor your horse for any adverse reactions. If you notice any unusual symptoms after deworming, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Remember, your veterinarian is the best resource for advice on deworming your horse. Don't hesitate to reach out to them with any questions or concerns.
