How Do I Know If My Horse Needs Deworming?

Horses infected with parasites may not always show symptoms, but signs of a parasite burden include:

• Weight loss despite a normal diet
• Dull, rough coat and poor overall condition
• Frequent colic episodes or digestive issues
• Lethargy and poor performance
• Visible worms in manure (rare but possible)

To confirm the need for deworming, ask your veterinarian for a fecal egg count test (FEC). This test helps determine the parasite load and the most effective deworming plan for your horse.

How to Use Bimectin Ivermectin Paste Dewormer? (Dosage and Administration)

• One 6.08-gram syringe treats a horse weighing up to 1,250 lbs.
• Adjust the syringe plunger to the correct weight marking before administration.
• Administer the paste directly into the horse’s mouth, placing it on the back of the tongue.
• Always consult your veterinarian for exact dosage instructions based on your horse’s condition.

Deworming Schedule Recommendation:

• Administer every 8-12 weeks as part of a rotational deworming program.
• Monitor your horse’s fecal egg count (FEC) for a tailored parasite control plan.

Customer Tips for Easy Administration
