Ok, I'm taking care of a full sized mare that has bad hoof rot, and hasn't been wormed in a long time. I just picked her up about 3 weeks ago, my vet just shook his head when he saw her, and I wormed her right away when she got here, but she's scratching her tush again. Does this mean that the worms aren't completely gone, or is this just a normal thing? None of my other full sized horses do this, only her. I wormed her with Ivermectin, the liquid kind, and it really seemed to help. She is a little overweight now, and I'm working her off the bute (she could barely walk when she got here). Any suggestions as to why she's scratching will help. Thanks
