Frequently Asked Questions About Equine Parasitism And
Their Answers..


Part 3 ..


Q. Why should horseowners be worried about internal parasites if their horses look healthy?


A. Most horse owners can identify a horse that is "wormy": it looks potbellied, has a poor haircoat and is low on energy. While this level of clinical parasitism is something horse owners know to avoid, 90 percent of the damage done by parasites is unseen and present even in horses that look healthy.

Traditional purge dewormers like pastes and drenches do a good job of removing worms—at the time of treatment. However, a horse can quickly become reinfected with eggs and larvae picked up in pastures, paddocks and stalls, resulting in subclinical parasitism. Even if a horse is carrying low numbers of internal parasites, parasite migration through a horse's tissues can damage the circulatory system, intestines, stomach, liver and lungs. So a horse may look good, but still be harboring internal parasites.

Prayer


You are so worthy Lord! We praise You for all the many things You have done, and are doing in our lives. Renew our spirits and refresh us with Your power. As we look into Your face, we see love that gives us life. We will shout Your praises! Our hearts will sing of Your goodness. You are our God. It is only Your glory that makes our lives worth living. It is You who can do in our lives what we could never have imagined. You know our weakness and You make us strong. You are our source of strength and hope. Thank You Lord! Amen.
