Foals are wormed more often (every 4–6 weeks) and pregnant mares should be dosed 4–6 weeks before foaling. Faecal egg counts every 6 months are the most accurate way to fine-tune your worming schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I dose by weight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Estimate your horse's weight using a weight tape, a livestock scale, or the bodyweight formula (girth² × length ÷ 11,990). Set the plunger of the syringe to the corresponding weight mark, place the syringe at the back of the tongue and depress. Hold the horse's head up for a few seconds to make sure the paste is swallowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I worm my pregnant mare?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes — all the products in this range are safe in pregnant mares when used at label dose. The standard recommendation is to worm 4–6 weeks before foaling, especially with a praziquantel-containing product (Equimax, Equimax Elevation, Equimax LV or Ultimum) to clear tapeworm before delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why should I rotate between wormers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Equine worms — especially small strongyles (cyathostomins) — develop resistance to single-class wormers when they're used continuously. Rotating between three or more drug classes makes resistance much slower to develop. The textbook rotation is: a macrocyclic lactone (Equimax\/Equimax Elevation\/Equimax LV\/Ultimum) → a benzimidazole + tetrahydropyrimidine (Strategy-T) → back to a macrocyclic lactone. Faecal egg count testing helps you confirm your rotation is still effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are these wormers safe for foals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Equimax Elevation is specifically formulated for foals from 2 weeks of age. Equimax and Equimax LV are safe in foals from 2 weeks of age at the correct dose. Strategy-T and Ultimum are for horses over 4 weeks of age. Always check the label dose for very young foals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need a prescription?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. All Virbac horse wormers in this range are sold over the counter — no vet prescription required.
