I thought I’d give Westgate Labs worm count service a go. For many years I’ve followed the old school routine of Equest in the spring, Equest Pramox in the Autumn and never thought much about it other than to make sure I popped in my diary what I’d used and the date so I knew for next time.
But with worms becoming ever more resistant to the drugs available and a genuine interest in what’s lurking in my horses guts I thought I’d up my worming routine game. Now I didn’t do the Saliva Tapeworm tests, mainly because I was keeping costs down but I think I’ll do that one next time. What I did get was the pinworm and the red worm test kits from Westgate Labs.
The kit arrived really quickly, was super straight forward and easy to package up and post back. Now if they come back and don’t need worming I’ve saved myself £20 in total, as the wormers usually cost around £60, if they do need worming then I guess I’ve spent £44 more than I needed to. But money aside it will be interesting to see what the results are!
