  6. We have an eight-year-old gelding that has never had any health problems. He is on a deworming program every six weeks. Within the last four weeks, he has started scratching his mane and tail continuously. I have contacted our veterinarian for a consult, but until our appointment, is there another dewormer I can use to relieve his itching? Updated: June 09, 2009
  7. We have a three month old calf that has had scours for five weeks now. He was treated for coccidia, but the last test results showed him parasite free. We tried several antibiotics, treated for worms, changed pens, changed milk replacers to medicated, and feed gelling agents with electrolytes everyday for the last three weeks. The calf is getting skinnier and skinnier. I feel we are losing the battle and the vet is out of ideas. Please help! The calf eats hay well but not a lot of calf starter. Updated: October 08, 2008
