Using Strongid 2X-do I still need to paste

D. Brown-Cline · 04-30-2004, 03:21 PM

Hi ,
My horse Zenith has been on Strongid X for 2 months now, prior to starting it I used a paste(Ivermectrin) and then started the Strongid 2X.
I read somewhere that they still need to be pasted every 2 months. Does anyone know for sure and also, will I need to rotate the type of paste used?
Thanks
Donna

Still good to use paste every 6 months for tapes and other worms that strongid doesn't get.

Agreed, Stongid doesn't get everything, Ivermectin does. Rotate in Ivermectin sometimes.

If you feed a daily dewormer, such as Strongid C or Strongid 2X, be aware that it is not effective against bots, so you should deworm once in the fall and once in the spring using a 1.87% equine ivermectin paste dewormer to control bot infestation.
A dewormer for tapeworms should be used late winter or early spring before grazing season or late autumn or early winter to clean the horse out after grazing season.
Dewormers that work for tapeworm:
Zimecterin Gold
Quest Plus
EquiMax
ComboCare
