I have a bad habit of holding things in my mouth to free up both my hands. This afternoon I stuck the cap to a tube of Quest Plus dewormer in my mouth – with the inside of the cap facing my tongue. I couldn’t even see a trace of the gel (it’s orange) on the cap, but I sure did taste it. NASTY!! Made my tongue and lips numb too. I did feel bad giving it to Valentine after that – but keeping him parasite-free is more important than saving him from nasty-tasting stuff. So be sure to worm your horses on a regular schedule, preferably under your vet’s advice…just don’t put the cap in your mouth.

That doesn’t sound too good! I’ve never had that happen to me fortunately. Your right about keeping your baby protected against those parasites! My horses see the tube and run! I never thought of tasting it. haha. Perhaps they will come out with a de-wormer that doesn’t taste as bad.
There is apple flavored dewormer out there. It smells amazing! I have never tasted it, but one of my close friends deworms her horses with it and THEY LOVE IT!
