Location: Bastrop, Texas | I don't care if a de-wormer makes a horse look slick. The question is, are these herbs effective? How do we know? | |

| The same way I knew when a horse was wormy when I used regular wormers--rough hair, pot belly, ribby, poor feed utilization. I have a lot of horses in and out since I train full-time, and it's usually obvious when the worming program isn't working. I haven't seen any of those things in the horses that have been on it, and it's more cost effective than what I was doing before, so I'll stick with it. A person should get a fecal count done if not sure! | |

I tried Herbal wormers twice and had fecal egg counts done. First time I used it my fecal egg count came back very high. I called company and was told it was doing its job by making the horse get rid of the eggs and worms. I then used a traditional wormer and my egg count came back zero. So does that mean the traditional wormer didnt work??? LOL I will stick to my vets recommendations. | |

Stick with what works for your program! I'm not trying to argue with anyone, the OP asked for opinions and I shared mine. | |

Did you try the silver lining one? I know there's a few different ones out there. | |

I give it every 3-4 months, depending on if they're in the corral or pasture | |

Yep, I like SLH so thats the only one I tried. And yes, you give it for 10 days in a row. | |

| Mine are slick and shiny, I get compliments on how good they look. I wormed them with Ivermectin and I am seeing dead worms. Vet said to paste them again in 2 weeks. We have had virtually no winter and the type of worms they have thrive in 40 to 80° which is what our last few months have been. | |

It is possible the paste didn't work. They are meant to kill and the parasites may be harder to evacuate the body when they are dead. I personally use the SLH herbal wormer and love what I see. | |
