To minimize the potential source of infection that the mare may pose to the foal, the mare should be treated 1 month prior to anticipated foaling date followed by retreatment 10 days to 2 weeks after birth of foal. Horses and ponies over 8 months of age should be routinely dosed every 6 weeks.
ADMINISTRATION
After removing the cap, the paste should be deposited on the dorsum of the tongue. Introduce the nozzle end of the syringe at the corner of the mouth. Direct the syringe backwards and depress the plunger to deposit the paste onto the tongue. Given in this manner, it is unlikely that rejection of the paste will occur. Raising the horse's head sometimes assists in the swallowing process. When only part of the paste has been used, replace the cap on the syringe nozzle.EFFICACY
Critical (worm count) studies in horses demonstrated that Strongid Paste administered at the recommended dosage was efficacious against mature infections of Strongylus vulgaris ( > 90%), S. edentatus (69%), S. equinus ( > 90%), Oxyuris equi (81%), Parascaris equorum ( > 90%), and small strongyles ( > 90%).WARNINGS
Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children.It is recommended that severely debilitated animals not be treated with this preparation.
