Why weighing your horse before worming is important..

Should you weigh your horse before worming? The answer is yes. A report has found that 44% of horse owners don’t weigh their horses before worming. Why does this matter? – because there are serious consequences to both overdosing and underdosing.

Overdosing
Most wormers come in syringes for oral administration or packs of powder/granules for adding to food. They are clearly marked with dosing instructions based on the weight of the horse and should be followed carefully to avoid overdosing.
If you are concerned that you have given more than the prescribed dose, or you horse seems off-colour after worming you should speak to your vet immediately. Ensure you have the details of the wormer to hand and how much you think your horse has had.
In particular, some individuals such as foals, animals with underlying health conditions or the elderly may be more susceptible to the effects of overdosing. Also bear in mind that the relative effect of a small overdose in low body weight animals such as miniature breeds is higher, which means they too may be more susceptible.

Underdosing
Giving too little wormer can actually be a far more serious problem than giving too much. Wormers contain an active ingredient designed to kill the parasites and this ingredient needs to be at the right concentration in the body. When the dosage is too low, some of the worms can survive, especially if they have a degree of resistance to that wormer already – they may well have been killed if the wormer was at the right concentration but the lower dose allows them to survive. The survivors can then reproduce and pass on their resistance to further generations of worms. Over time, a resistance to that wormer builds up in the worm population so that even when used at the right concentration many worms survive the wormer, making it ineffective. It’s important to understand that when you underdose, the consequences don’t just affect your horse – you’re helping to breed a new population of wormer-resistant parasites and making existing treatments less effective for all horses.

The most accurate way to assess your horse’s weight is by using a Weighbridge.
Here we can help you know your exact accurate horses/ponies weight, making sure that your equine is getting the correct dosage of wormer for their body weight insuring the safe use of wormers.

To have your horse/pony accurately weighed, please feel free to get in contact to arrange a booking at a day and time to suit you 🐴⚖️📆

🐴 Reminder since we had a surge 🐴

Horse owners may assume that summer’s departure means a reprieve from the dangers of laminitis. You may be quite surprised, then, to learn that once summer starts to cool off, the risk of horses developing laminitis actually increases. Laminitis is a complex condition, and the risk factors encompass more than just the typical lush spring and summer grasses. Often-overlooked triggers that come into play especially in the autumn include hormonal, environmental, and barn management factors. 🍂 🐴 🍁
