My mare is 7 months pregnant. Do I continue to worm her every two months with Ivermectin? How soon before foaling do I stop? Thanks

Taking your questions in order: 1) Yes 2) You don't, in fact there may be an extra timed deworming prior to foaling. For an explanation of why this is important see Equine Reproduction » Pregnancy, Foaling, & Neonatal Care » Pregnant Mare Care and Nutrition. DrO
