how do you give a horse dewormer?
our horse doesn't take wormers very well. he will throw his head and we have to put a nose twitch on and we finally get him to take after 30 minutes. he is really powerful, so when we hold his halter he picks us up off the ground! he broke the back bar in our trailer when the vet gave him a shot and dented the door and now it barely opens. there has got to be a trick to give him it.

My new mare was similar. I started by working on touching her face and lips until she was okay with that. Then I worked on touching her face with an old worming syringe. I added applesauce to the syringe and started working with that. She still lifts her head when being wormed, but now she tries to eat the wormer syringe. Take time and patience and teach your horse how to accept being wormed.
Try to buy or build a cattle chute, with bars on boths sides and a gate on the front and back. Also but some sort of covering on top, then try to give him the wormer through that. He won't have any room to hurt himself or anyone else.
Yayy! Glad I can give you an easy answer!
They are now making dewormers that you can sprinkle on feed. These can be wormers that you give in rotation or wormers you give everyday. These come in liquid and pellet form and I have given them to my horses lots of times. They treat them almost as treats, since they are flavored. This should definitely help with your problem!
The tubes of wormer i take advantage of will regularly trojan horse a 1250lb horse. My mare is 1175 and my gelding is 1100 lbs. My filly is 750lbs. My mare gets the finished tube as does my gelding. My filly could get a million/2 of the tube and the subsequent rotation she could get something. For now she is barely getting the feed with the aid of (re-coaching the as quickly as ignored situation) in some circumstances I do the double dose of Strongid so they each get 2 finished tubes. Now, if your horse is approximately 800lbs you do not opt to furnish an entire tube of wormer (till it incredibly is a double dose of Strongid, or you're doing the Panacur 5 day skill %) i think of in case you gave your 800lb horse a dose for a 1000lb horse, i'm specific you would be ok. i be responsive to i've got performed it earlier (horse likes to hold his paste and spit it out whilst i seem away). I study someplace (desire I had the link nonetheless) that in case you overmedicate by utilising 250lbs you're risk-free, different than with a wormer like Quest. the main suitable situation to do is stay interior of 200lb dosage and to additionally touch the wormer corporation and ask them, or your vet. you may shop something of the wormer for the subsequent rotation. no ought to waste it! shop THE CAP! Sorry, I unquestionably tend to ramble and put in greater documents that what replaced into asked for
