Re: [AlpacaTalk] Dosing for worms and coccidia @ the same time

We're also worming and treating those with symptoms for coccidia with
Albon. 3 days with safeguard, 2x horse dose, and Albon 2cc/10 lbs body
weight, for 5 days. And yes, we are treating concurrently if necessary.
Actually what we're doing is working through the herd, worming each
pasture for 3 days, and treating for coccidia for the ones who need
that, at the same time.

This year is really hard on those who have to live outdoors in the PNW!

Best of luck to you, Toni, and to everyone battling this!
