| Mrs DJ so sorry to hear about your mare i do hope that she is going to be ok. I have used Pramox on my horses and had no ill effects, i asked my vet before using it and she said that as long as the horses were in good health it would be fine to use,as others have said i dont it use on the mares in foal and foals.I think it is like any product some horses react differently to certain things. |

| One of my soap box issues is wormers in syringes. They come in a 500 - 650gm individual syringe. If not administered properly the horse spits some out. If you don't have a spare syringe standing by you have underdosed! So maybe this is how resistance happens. I keep hearing of people using the same wormer year after year, this is also helping the worms to get used to the chemicals. |

I used Pramox last year with no ill effects, so wasn't anticipating any problems.
I weightaped her, gave the correct dosage, then 24hrs later she has acute lammi 
She had a mild bout of laminitis 7yrs ago, so she's on restricted grazing, supplemented with hay. I give her a handful of Happy Hoof once a day, with a magnesium supplement, garlic and two small scoops of Lo-Cal. That's the regime she's been on all this time, with no problems or any sign of footiness.
Apart from coming in at night 3wks ago, there have been no changes whatsoever.
The vet is adamant that it can't be the Pramox because she'd be ill, and she's not.
Zeyrha is barefoot, with great feet, but the vet is wanting me to think about shoes!!!!
Can't get my head round that one! (Not happening anyway).
She's also told me to cut out the magnesium????
Anyway, she's being x-rayed this afternoon, and I will wait for the results of them and the blood tests, and take it from there.
My farrier is coming out on Friday too - he was horrified when I told him she had told me to stand her in iced water, and strongly advised me not to do it.
I'm getting very confused!  |
