Or, at least, almost. My horse had a bad, bad case of worms (I believe they're called red worms in English, I'm not sure), the most dangerous kind out here. The type that not only attacks the intestine, but the blood vessels are subject to them as well. I've been boarded at this place for a...

I took a fecal sample of my two horses and after looking at the slide I found these little bugs. The pictures aren't great. It was hard to get the camera to focus. I would like to know what particular kind of intestinal parasites these are. After looking at these nasty things I immediately...

Hey all! Total newbie to the site but also total newbie to everything to do with horses so please bear with me :-) At the end of 2011 I was 'given' a retired racehorse who up until that point wasn't cared for very well. Since then I've spent a lot of time trying to learn as much as I can and...

I have a Belgium draft horse who I am pretty sure is suffering from small redworms. Very loose stools, rapid weight loss, but I have not seen any works in her stools (at least that I have noticed) We just treated her with an ivermectin based dewormer (Eqvalan Gold) 4 days ago. Doing a little...
