We recommend deworming foals at 30 days of age with a double dose of Panacur by weight each day for 5 days in a row to kill parasite larvae. 

New horses with no deworming history - Start with a fecal exam then deworm as directed by your Veterinarian.

We carry all these dewormers at our office along with Strongid C2X, the daily dewormer.

 We recommend a fecal exam annually to check your deworming program.
