  3. My mare suffers from encysted small strongyle infections. Last winter, her belly was bloated, and her weight generally shifted downward, making her look 10 years older than her young 10 years. The vet did blood work and she showed some kidney stress, so we lowered her protein. Then the vet felt that her problem was encysted small strongyles. We treated her by double dosing Panacur® for five days. She showed amazing changes in a short period of time. It's winter again, and she is showing the weight changes. I rotate dewormers (four times a year) and decided to get a fecal exam before worming, since she was looking different. Sure enough, she tested positive for strongyle eggs. I am assuming it is small strongyles again and wonder if a better way to worm her is available. My husband's gelding is cared for in the same way (except for feed — she gets MoorMan's® ultra fiber-low starch) and does not show any body changes, and his fecal test was negative.
