The story-cob in January was seriously ill. Spent 2 weeks in hospital, and almost 3 months on box rest. She also run up a nice bill, most of which was paid for by insurance.
The vet wanted her worming every ten weeks from 5weeks ago, so not due for another 5 weeks.
Yard policy as from January is every twelve.
We are moving fields tomorrow, so in order to move with them she has to be wormed. That is ok that has actually always been the yard rules, worm before moving fields. The only difference is i have vet on one side who wants every ten i assume because she is a high risk. Yard wants every twelve.
Now i can do this-but my concern is the 4th stage of encysted redworm and i guess this is why vet wants every ten.
The vet in question is not working today. I am having to bring in worm and leave in for 24hours and move. Or bring in and wait until i can get hold of the vet and see how much increased risk this is by moving her to every twelve.
We all know egg counts don't show up encysted so i was going to do blood tests for this.
