This is not such a great topic kind of gross actually but I have a few questions.......
My 2 fillies are 8 & 9 months old, they were wormed by the breeder right before she brought them to me in mid October. I wormed them again end of November and then again yesterday. They had been rubbing their hind ends/tails on the fence but they always seem to be trying to scratch something!! I used 2 different kind of wormer.....well today I noticed that Misty had something hanging out her hind end, I lifted her tail and she passed a worm that was quite long, round, white/gray. It appeared to be dead. That for sure was the gross part!!!!!!
So should I see more of this? How will I know they both are worm free or will that be as they get older?? Should I worm sooner than later and what brands do you all recommend?? I clean their stalls daily, removing all manure and wet shavings letting the stall mats air and dry out before fresh shavings added. I try to poop scoop the field area every other day, the longest might have been after 3 days ( holiday season got a little hectic) but never longer.
Please give me all your thoughts, advice and deworming techniques!!!!! I feel bad that Misty had that nasty thing in her belly and now I am worried about little Josie too!!
So in other words HELP!!!!!!!!
