Ask the Nutritionist: Dr. Getty's Forum for Equine Nutrition
Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.
All the best,
Dr. Getty
Hi Pam,
Ivermectin preparations vary in their concentration levels. Perhaps one that is lower, such as IverEase, which you add to the feed one time (it's not a daily wormer), may be better tolerated.
Moxidectin is also an option. Panacur and Strongid won't get rid of bots. I'm not familiar with the drug content of Equell.
Yes, the same goes for minis, but the dosage, of course, would be adjusted for their size.
Hope this is helpful!
All the best,
Dr. Getty
