Can a horse be dewormed when he's colicing frequently?
I would recommend having your veterinarian conduct a fecal egg count test before deworming your horse, and then using deworming chemicals targeted at the specific species he or she finds. Horses naturally host parasites, and it is impossible to get rid of them all--in fact, some studies have shown that ridding a horse of all its internal parasites could even be detrimental. However, in large numbers, these parasites can cause various ailments, including frequent colic. If your veterinarian determines that your horse has a large parasite load, be cautious when worming, because encysted worms are resistant to deworming chemicals and can hatch in the millions after a heavily infected horse is dewormed, causing severe colic and even death. You should consult your veterinarian about your horse colicking, because it may be unrelated to parasites--perhaps you need to change your horse's diet or adjust other management practices. Do not deworm your horse during a colic episode or for a few days afterwards, as this could place unnecessary stress on an injured GI tract.
What prevents parasites in a horses digestive health?
Nothing will prevent 100% of parasites. What you need to do is have a vet preform and Fecal Egg count test to see which parasites the horse has, use a proper deworming chemical then do another egg count test to see if it worked. If not try another product and another test until you find one that works. Then you might only need to deworm the horse 2-4 times a year.
It is important to worm your horse?
yes, it is VERY important to worm your horse, because the worms can mess up the horse's intestines and digestive system, by eating away at their organs walls. you should also ask your horse's vet for more info on this.
How often do you clean your horse?
You muck out your horse's stall once a day, and twice a day in the summer (because of more insects/parasites.) You give your horse a full grooming at least once a day. You don't groom your horse as much if he/she lives outside, because you don't want to remove the natural coat oils that keep the horse warm. Keep your horse healthy and happy!!! : )
Do you deworm your horses every other month?
No, deworming horses should not just be done on a random every 6 or 8 weeks schedule. How often a horse should be dewormed depends on age, environmental conditions, management practices and the horse's own resistance to parasites. Deworming programs should be designed for each horse based upon a consideration of the risk factors for parasites for that particular horse, including the results of fecal egg counts which help to determine an individual horse's reinfection status and natural resistance to parasites. Immatures horses (under 18 months) are less resistant to parasites and often require frequent deworming, but adult horses may need as few as 2 dewormings a year or as many as 3-4 dewormings a year.Horse owners should consult their veterinarian to determine an appropriate deworming program for their horses.
