Re: Dull coat

Hi Lori,

Sounds like you've already made great strides with him -- congratulations!

I would suggest two things. First, treat him with a five day, double dose of fenbendazole (Panacur Power-Pac) to get rid of encysted larvae. This will get rid of the worms that the other wormers cannot touch. You have to administer the paste five days in a row.

The second suggestion is Glanzen. This is a flaxseed meal based feed/supplement that will bring out the best in him. It is high in B vitamins, Vitamin E, and omega 3 fatty acids. (Don't get the Glanzen-SE, since Wyoming has plenty of Selenium in its soil.)

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
