Every horse should be on a good, regular worming program. But there is really no single product that will take care of all parasites. Ask your vet to help you come up with a good plan for deworming.

∙ 8y agoHorses can become infected with several different types of worms and not all are killed using the same chemical. So, the first step in dealing with worms in horses is to have a fecal exam performed to identify the type(s) of parasites present. Once the parasites are identified, a drug that is labelled to treat that(those) parasites is selected and administered to the horse as directed.

How does a horse and bot fly interact?
Its not so much interaction as predation. The bot fly is the predator. It will circle endlessly around the horse landing on the legs and belly of the horse to lay its eggs. If allowed, it will bite and lay hundreds of eggs on your horse. If not scraped or cut off with a 'bot knife' the horse may ingest these eggs when it bites itself to scratch or chew. These end up as bot maggots in your horse's digestive tract. They can and will cause much damage to your horse if he is not on a good deworming program. The best way to fight this nasty parasite is a two-pronged attack. When you see the white eggs on your horse cut them off and dispose of them. And keep your horse on a good deworming program that your vet can help you with.
