Tufty's worm results are back...and very impressive too. If you've been following the blog, you might remember that when she first arrived, we tested her for worms. She had a worm count of 4,400 eggs per gram (that's a gram of manure), which is an extremely high reading...1,200 epg would normally be considered as a high count, so 4,400 was more than off the scale! Both Tufty and Topsy had a 2 week course of Verm-X, which is a wormer made from herbs (rather than chemicals), and after waiting about a month after worming, we have retested...
...and Tufty's results came back as 100epg, which is a healthy low reading. Verm-X have been very supportive of people4ponies, and kindly give us a discount on all our wormer...thank you very much to everyone, particularly Ellie at Verm-X, for all their help. http://www.verm-x.com/
