Extreme Veteran Posts: 346 Location: USA	So I wormed my horse 7 days ago. The next day I noticed small worms in his manure, so I thought the wormer was doing its job. 2 days ago he started rubbing his tail like a freak! He's never done that before. Do I give him another dose? Can I give it now? Please help! Edited by Oakley 2015-04-03 4:15 PM

Husband Spoiler Posts: 4151 Location: North Dakota	I am having the same issue! I think my problem is pinworms. Are the worms skinny, little white ones? I wormed her last week and now she is rubbing her tail. I never see her do it but each day her tail looks more and more broken and she has a rub mark on her cheek next to her tail. I have been using baby oil around her butt and dock of tail to keep the momma worm from laying eggs but not sure if it is helping. Should I worm again or what else can I do? I did Zimectrin Gold last time.

Money Eating Baggage Owner Posts: 9586 Location: Phoenix	I just powerpacked my horse about two or three weeks ago and just the other day I saw his tail had been rubbed and he had a mark on his butt as well. I was going to send in a fecal sample shortly but from what I understand the pinworms are on the outside of their butt.....if you put scotch tape on anus you can see the eggs. Haven't tried that yet.
