I wonder if the time frame for the "colic" was when and/or if the worms starting dying? Just a thought. She has been wormed regularly. And I haven't seen a single parasite in her fecal matter what so ever. I know they aren't all visible. Always possible. Right now the list os causes are a mile long. Just curious - what is your regular dewormer? And what did you use that time? I am curious as well. Good rule of thumb is to switch up active ingredients so the parasites don't get a resistance. My schedule is as follows to give you an idea: January: Strongid (Pyrantel Pamoate) March: Ivermectin May: Moxidectin (Quest) July: (Ivermectin) September: Oxibendazole (Anthelcide) November: Ivermectin with Fenbendazole (Equimax) Hugs to you and hope you can figure this out for your little mare. I truly don't have some crazy strict worming schedule. I switch it up but not in a specific order. We have horses coming in and out pretty often. If they look wormy I dose them with more of a ivermectin/praziquantel (Zimmectrin Gold). She got Fenbendazole (Safeguard).

I’ve seen a lot of horses that didn’t “look”wormy that were loaded with them. I hope your Mare continues to improve :-) Edited by Liana D 2018-01-17 1:50 PM

Elite Veteran Posts: 920	I have a longer bodied gelding who has bad coliced twice on me. He’s been recommended surgery once and I told them it wasn’t an option. I want to say he was displaced. With the help of some drugs and a lot of long trotting and starving he got back in sorts. The vet wasn’t to hopeful at first but he pulled through a bit skinnier than normal but healthy. I can’t remember all the details of the second time but it wasn’t as bad. Now you have to watch him because he’ll quit drinking sometimes. He hated the vets water and refused to drink it. A few years ago I thought it was round three for colic, he was stretching and such. He did some weird tongue yawning moves also. I got some fluids in him and some pepto and he was fine in a day.

A Somebody to Everybody Posts: 41354 Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas	I wonder if maybe your mare had a bad reaction to the Safeguard... I like using a dewormer that get bots and tapeworms this time of the year myself, in fact when it warms up some I'm going to be hitting up all my horses with Equimax..

I have a hard time thinking that the dewormer was the cause... it was 8 days after, she is wormed regularly. Last worming a few months ago was for the tapeworm and bots. With that being said, I truly have no idea what caused it so I won't rule out anything,
