Worming Foals?

[Quester]

My filly is 10 weeks old. I think I should have wormed her already? Okay, I don't really know. What do I worm her with (what is safe) and how much? Is it recommended to worm them at a higher weight than they are? Lower weight? Around true weight etc and how often should she be wormed?

Worm your filly at the proper dosage and utilize Safeguard or Panacur.

Agree with Kimberle. I start deworming at a month of age and continue to deworm a foal monthly until it's a year old. Then it goes on the same schedule as my adult horses. I also will deworm with Ivermectin at 6 months of age and will use Strongid after that as well. But, the first few wormings, I like Panacur or Safeguard.

Sounds good guys, thanks! What is the average weight of a 2 month old mini foal?
