I am so glad your donkeys are feeling so much better.Worming can be tuff on there little tummies
: I always do the 5 day panacure on all new horses and donkeys (adults only!) ROTATIONAL WORMING....it involves giving the donkeys a differant wormer from a differant class of wormers about every 8 weeks. You dont really just want to switch a product within the same class of wormers because its not really rotating,
and parasites seem to build up a resistance to certain wormers, which would involve the entire class of meds in that group of wormers. Following so far..Teri?? So here is how I worm my group:
JANUARY~Use a product with Fenbendazole, such as Safe-Guard for general parasite control and removal of all stages of encysted small strongyles.
MARCH~ Use a product product, with ivermectin (with or without praziquantel) for general parasite control, and removal of bots and tapeworms.
MAY~ Use a product, with pyrantel pamoate for general parasite control.
JULY~ Use a product with Fenbendazole, such as Safe-Guard for general parasite control
SEPT~ Use a product with Ivermectin (with or without praziquantel), for general parasite control and removal of bots and tapeworms.
NOVEMBER~ Use a product with pyrantel pamoate for general parasite control.
Dont forget donkeys do get lung worms too. I think everyone has there own worming rotational program to follow, but this is what I do and its has worked great for me. Hope this help you. Teri, didnt I send you a link awhile ago for a deworming chart..it was a freebie? I'll look if I still have it. Ce
