I was wondering, will it hurt your horse if you change the wormer brand that you use? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Not at all, it is reccommended that you rotate wormers every month so the lil buggers don't build up a resistance. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Only those who risk going too far, will ever know how far they can go.

I always rotate my wormer every other month. I first learned of doing this 13 years ago and have done so every since. My vet says it is a good idea to do so. Good Luck!

You should deworm every other month-6 times a year and if you dont want to rotate, it is recommended to use a dewormer with a chemical base of Ivermecterin of 1.87%.
Deworming for tapeworm is recommended in late autum or early winter to clean the horse out after grazing season or late winter early spring to get the horse ready for grazing season.
Dewormers for tapeworm:
Zimecterin Gold
Quest Plus
ComboCare
EquiMax
Horses 2 and under need to be dewormed for roundworms and double dose per pound. There immunity is built up after two years old to have a resistence to roundworms(ascarids)
