Equine dental and worm egg count promotion
It's getting to that time of the year when lots of people are starting to think about getting their horses' teeth sorted before winter. It's also been surprising how much of a worm problem we have had this year – we have had some really high worm egg counts, even from healthy looking competition horses! Perhaps it's due to the high grazing density, with there being so little grass due to the drought. Worm burdens can make horses colic, lose weight, cause a dull coat or just not perform up to expectations – but resistance to modern drugs is a real problem in the horse world, and will continue to be so. Worm egg counts are a really good way to decide on whether your horse actually needs worming or not.
