I've just wormed star with equest, completely forgetting the fact that it is march and I should have wormed for tapeworm, should I wait the 13 weeks before worming for tapeworm or will he be ok to do it now?

You can get a tapeworm-only wormer - check out Wormers Direct online... they will tell you...

I worm Skye with an all wormer, that way it doesn't matter what month it is, she's wormed for most worms. I'm pretty sure you could worm him again, I give skye a separate bot treatment along with her normal worming because she gets a bad reaction to them.

Just given him a dose of Equitape, he's not too impressed being wormed twice in the same month!!! :D

I would ask Gill. Are your horses on their own? If so they probably only need worming for tapes once a year.

Equest and Equitape are fine to be given together :p

i think they're even designed to be used together, or is that not Equitape - i often mix up the names of worming brands :-)
