 I ummmm, have a question to ask concerning Zimectrin Gold paste:
Much to my dismay, when Iverease went off the market (and I keep begging Farnum to bring it back), there went the primary in-feed wormer in my worming program. All of my horses are on a rotational schedule and I have all catagories covered with an in-feed except now for the twice yearly invermectin. My local farm store said that their horses will eat the Zimectrin Gold right in their food, so tonight, I gave it a try. It went fairly well except.....my Arab/Paint got wise to it and I didn't get the entire amount into him however.....being that the first part went down at 5:00, if I sneak the rest into his 9:30 grain and get a little over the total amount into him within a few hours, will that still work? This wormer is a combo of ivermectin and praziquantel for bots and tapeworms.
I read the article on wormers working better on an empty stomach however, I have done well with in-feeds. So, if I get it into him within a few hours, will it still work? I love in-feeds, not a head shy in the barn. |

It is not known if you feed the dewormer in that manner if it will be effective on not PattyB. You can repeat another full dose however in a day or two and not expect problems.
