Whoever posted that giving Ivermectin to your just foaled mare within 12 hrs of foaling to prevent foal scours... THANK YOU!! It worked like a charm!!!

Not sure if that was me or not but I have been deworming shortly after birth for years now. My mare had a dystocia this year and it was touch and go there for a little while. I really thought we might have to cut the baby out in pieces because his head was turned back and the vet couldn't reach it. Anyway, everything turned out fine but with all the drama I forgot about the ivermectin until the next day. I was cleaning that little butt for weeks!

Foal scours are just AWFUL.. and no matter how often I cleaned (and the little bugger didn't enjoy and would be struggling and kicking) they always seemed to lose some of the hair around the butt and down to the leg.. NO MORE!
