Equine Deworming
Dr. Liz Waguespack

For those following the recommended deworming protocol it is time to deworm with Moxidectin + Praziquantel (Quest Plus). This will be the last deworming for low and moderate shedders until October 1 2020. High shedders will need additional deworming in the spring around April 1. This deworming is important because it has Praziquantel which will get tapeworms. Tapes have been shown to cause a particular type of colic because of their attachment in the intestines near the cecum.
