Why are there so many worms in my horse's field after worming?

The best time to give a second dose is approximately 20 days after the first dose. This should hit the worms that hatch from eggs remaining but before they can lay new eggs. If Brownie had such a severe case of worm infection, you may want to collect a fresh fecal sample about 3-4 days after the second dose of wormer and take that to your vet for a fecal exam. This sample should be clear.

What you are seeing are likely dead or dying intestinal parasites. It is common to see parasites in the stool after deworming. You may need to repeat the deworming in 2-3 weeks to kill any remaining parasites that were not developed at the time or the first deworming.

If you took a stool sample five days after Bronx was given the deworming treatment and then the sample showed no signs of worms, it likely means that the deworming treatment was effective and killed all the worms. The deworming treatment starts working within hours of administration to kill the worms present.

It could be they had worms previously and you didn't know it. It sometimes can take until there is a heavy infestation of worms for you to see them in vomit or feces. Typically only eggs are passed in the feces, and those eggs can be seen with a microscope, not the naked eye. You have to repeat the deworming treatment to kill all the worms. The first one treats the adults already present, while the second in two weeks will kill the ones that had not yet hatched at the time of the first treatment. Hopefully you will stop seeing dead worms in the next couple of days, but it means the treatment is working. Best of luck.

Yes, the Interceptor Plus will affect adult worms but not larvae that are migrating. Dewormers can cause a"purge" of dead or dying adult intestinal parasites. You should have Rocket dewormed again in 2-3 weeks. Contact your veterinarian for a broad spectrum dewormer to clear emerging adults. Nemex or Panacur can be dispensed by your vet based on your dog's weight.

Yes she sure can. It can take up to 1 week to rid the first round of worms in her system. Then as the worms in her system go through their 2 week life cycle (from baby worms to adult worms that you see in the poop) they should be treated again as a re-emergence of worms is seen. So the deworming schedule that I follow to ensure all worms (baby's and adults) are gone is as follows: 1) Deworm today 2) Deworm again in 3 days 3) Deworm again in 2 weeks But technically and most of the time you can get away with just doing #'s 1, and 3. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Hopefully seeing the worms pass in her stool means that the medications are working. I recommend rechecking a stool sample in 3-4 weeks to make sure there are no eggs present
