Parasite Prevention Programs
Parasite Prevention Programs
At Advanced Equine of the Hudson Valley, we provide horse owners with bi-annual parasite screenings and customized deworming programs designed to manage parasites and maintain the health of horses of all ages.
Signs of Parasites in Horses
You might observe the following signs and symptoms if your horse has internal parasites:
- Weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Coughing
- Nasal discharge
- Rough or dull hair/coat
- Hair loss
- Tail rubbing
- Lethargy
- Reduced stamina
- Mouth lesions
- Colic
- Diarrhea
- Diminished condition
- Summer sores
- Depression
However, horses with high parasite burdens may appear completely healthy, which is why bi-annual screening is recommended.
Parasite Screening, Customized Deworming, and Ongoing Management
Many internal parasites are developing resistance to some of the most common deworming agents. If there are concerns on routine screening fecal floats, our veterinarians will perform fecal egg count reduction test to determine the effectiveness of the deworming program
