Worming....?

Question

Okay, here goes I have my horse on a regular worming schedule but Im a little confused about something.......

Its time for him to be wormed again, but I have ordered some tape wormer and was wondering should I go ahead with his regular worming or should I wait till I get the tape wormer and worm him with that, I wasnt for sure if I could worm him with two different types of med with in a week of each other? Thanks for all your help in advance go ahead with regular schedule would be:

---The tape wormer that I have ordered is: Zimecterin Gold

---The other wormer that would be use if I go ahead with regular schedule would be: Ivermectin

Answer 1

You should call your vet.

Answer 2

Zimecterin Gold contains both Ivermectin and Praziquantel (for tapeworms).  I would not recommend giving 2 wormers that close together that both contain Ivermectin.  If in doubt, it never hurts (and usually doesn't cost anything) to call to ask a vet.
