Hi DrO,

This year starting in January was supposed to be a moxidectin year, as per your recommended deworming schedule, but for various reasons in July the horses received an ivermectin + praziquantel product (Equimax) rather than a moxidectin + praziquantel one.

Would you recommend treating this as just a glitch and continuing for the rest of this year with moxidectin, or would it be better to stick with the ivermectin since that was what they received last? (Daily Strongid granules are not an option here.)

Many thanks,

confused

Hi DrO

Just wondered if you'd missed my post? Sorry if I'm being a nuisance (probably am).

Thanks again!

Oops - doubly sorry - I could have sworn I'd seen some Sept 16th replies from you in Today's Discussions so thought I'd missed you but now I see I was wrong!

Oh dear, hope you've had plenty of coffee...

Hello LL,
We are traveling right now so replies are a little irregular. I would treat it as a glitch and just return to the schedule.
