Anyone had bad reactions with lamineze or equest wormer?

[SO1]

My pony was wormed today and then proceed to jump out of his stable he has done this once before but that was 5 months ago and since then he has been stabled with no problems.

The only thing that has changed was that he was wormed by the yard and that I have also put him on Lamineze (he is not laminitic but a native I have him on this as general good supplement)

Something must have upset him the only other thing I can think of it that the other horse from his herd where in and neighing as they don't normally come in and perhaps that might have wound him up or destressed him.

The yard turned him and I rushed over from work and brought him in to check he was ok and then had a little ride - well he was like he was speed and he is not normally a lively pony - all he wanted to do was canter round the edge of the school.

I was wondering if the equest made him feel funny and he got worried and then jumped out or if the lamineze is making him fiesty - he has only been on it a couple of week.

Interestingly both times he has jumped out have co-incided with very stressful times in my life and I was not at the yard to see what went on. Maybe he is telepathic and can sense from a distance that I am stressed and this winds him up.

Hi there! My pony has been wormed using Equest and was on the Lamineze supplement last summer. But it didn't change his mood or temperament. Like yours, he is not normally a lively pony, but the lamineze definitly didn't make him fizzy. See what he's like over the next couple of days. :)

No experience of hyper active effects on either, my horse gets very colickly with equest so no longer use it.
As you said obviously things weren't in their normal routine on the day he jumped out - could it just be he got a little upset & this was his way of solving problem?
A little nf gelding on our yard did a similar thing a couple of weeks ago. One minute happily tied on yard, next minute he had jumped five bar gate from a standstill! :eek::eek:he is only about 14hh!! & was tanking round field complete with leap rope trailing & roller on! There was nothing obvious which caused this & it has not happened since.
Sometimes they just get worked up about things & sometimes we won't find an answer as to why.
I would get more concerned if he started doing it regularly.
Inw hich case I would take him off the laminaze (if this is the only thing which has changed) & see whether it has a difference.

Interestingly enough my pony is also a little 14h NF gelding, he's back to his normal self now so must just have had a little panic attack about something on thurday.

cant help with the hyper bit but all mine are hyper at the moment! Howevr had experience of equest and colic!!!!

I think its the time of year. Spring grass staring to come through and its blowing a hoolie!!

if anything i'd expect him to be calmer with a lami supplement, as most of therm seem to contain magnesium oxide which is the staple of most calmers.
