Before dispatching your order, we need to check that you have ordered the correct medication (and the right amount) for your animal. You will need to complete a questionnaire and our team will contact you by email with some further questions before medication is dispatched.
Please note: the delivered by date is provisional as it is subject to us receiving answers to the additional questions we have to ask by email before we can dispatch this medication.
With repetitive use of Equest Horse Wormer, its effectiveness against inhibited and developing larvae in the intestinal mucosa enables a reduction in the dosing frequency in strategic parasite control programmes.
The recommended dosing interval for the control of small strongyles is 13 weeks.
Dosage and Administration:
For oral administration. One 14.8 g syringe contains sufficient gel to treat one 700 kg horse at the recommended dose rate (0.4 mg moxidectin per kg bodyweight). Each graduation on the calibrated syringe delivers sufficient gel to treat 25 kg bodyweight.
Use of a scale or weigh tape is recommended to ensure accurate dosing.
To avoid overdosing, care should be taken to accurately dose foals, especially low bodyweight foals or young ponies.
