This youngster does every trick in the book to get away from my putting the wormer in her mouth. Help! |

I'm an advocate for the liquid invermectin which my vet left with me for use with a very stubborn, fractious mare. She takes it in her oats, sweetened for the day with a bit of molasses. A cinch. I read about it here on the list. |

Hello Sylvia,
The problem here is one of proper halter training. While haltered horses are suppose to be quiet and responsive to the handler. For specific recommendations see Training Horses » Training Your Horse's Mind » Halter Training and Tying Horses.
If you would like to try alternative methods see Training Horses » Training Your Horse's Mind »

I just purchased the new vanilla-flavored liquid Pyrantel Pamoate (aka Strongid) wormer put out by Farnam.
Is the liquid Ivermectin something that's readily available to the layman, or just via the vet?

I have not seen a liquid ivermectin labelled for horses that is over the counter.
