In the chaos of the move I have forgotten the spring wormers. B*llocks. I need to give them something now (especially Sam as he spent some time away) although I have no reason to believe any of them have a problem.
They were last wormed in September with Eqvalan Duo but I'm not sure what they should get now, so late in the season. Any ideas? Is there a simple worming planner anywhere?
Of course I could ask my vet but I've realised that wormers from Vet UK are less than half the price I pay here - I paid 30€ each for the Eqvalan Duo - compared with £12.76 from Vet UK - and it mounts up.

Equest pramox does everything- Ive been forgetful also so will use this, the weights add up for mine also and three wormers will do my four so you may get lucky. I checked all the field droppings this morning as its been really wet and warm here- ideal hatching weather and I couldnt find one single worm so I think the equest is really effective as I used it last year and this is the first year Ive had no hatchlings.

Since they had the Duo in Sept Brig, should I give them another multi-wormer like Equest Pramox? Is that better then just doing a worm treatment without including tapeworm?

I am no expert on wormers Rac as they have changed so much since I did my exams but I was in similar situation last year (Im always a late starter- its creeps up so fast) and I was told tape in spring and autumn by the R and R expert and this was the one they suggested although Id used it in the autumn the year before.
