How often should I deworm my horse?

Troubleshooting
Horse spits out the paste
Ensure the head is held elevated and the paste is placed well back on the tongue to trigger the swallowing reflex.
Unsure of exact animal weight
Use a weight tape or a scale to get an accurate reading; do not guess the weight as this leads to incorrect dosing.
Suspected resistance or parasite burden
Consult your veterinarian to perform a fecal egg count test to determine if the current deworming program is effective.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before administration, always weigh your horse or donkey to ensure accurate dosing; under-dosing can contribute to parasite resistance. Store the syringe in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This product is strictly for equine use. Keep the syringe securely stored away from other household pets, specifically dogs and cats, as the high concentration of ivermectin can cause severe adverse reactions if ingested by them. After use, replace the cap to prevent contamination and dispose of the empty syringe according to local veterinary waste guidelines.
