Fecal Test and Deworming
Internal parasites rob the horse of feed nutrients and are a leading cause of colic. Following a deworming program that consists of testing for parasites and deworming with the appropriate amount and type of product is important. Making use of fecal tests can indicate which parasites are actually present, making for a much stronger deworming program. This test can range in price from $11 to $15. Not every horse in a paddock needs to be fecal tested, but a random few that live together will provide good information about the group. If a group of horses has a low parasite load, the treating veterinarian might suggest you postpone deworming, leading to substantial savings if multiple horses are owned.
We sell Ivermectin, strongid, and other dewormers.
