Jackie,

 

Tobacco tea, I am not familiar with that, could you

elaborate that one for us overseas listees. How much

should be made, in what dilution rate, what would the

dose be and whether they should have it mixed in their

food, water, indirectly down their throat etc and how

often should this be done. Pumpkin seeds again, do

they need to be blended in a coffee grinder and mixed

with their food or are theysoften and then blended or

again should they take this internally. I am

interested in all this as we would love to work all

our animals (my 2 cats, m 1 dog and my 2 horse

naturally to the best I can).

 

I haven't wormed my cats since I last had them in a

boarding kennel and that is groing back about 3-4

years now. If theyget the I am hungry all the time

and get skinny then I would be concern, but my cats

are health (touch wood) have been with me for 17 years

the older one and 7 years the younger one. The dog I

give her heart worming meds each months as they tend

to eat anything around and my horses I usually do them

once every three months and now that their food suppy

in the paddoc is low it is best to give them another

course.

Any suggesstion on horse working formalars as well as

dog, I would love to know.

Tobacco tea is effective against most intestinal tract

worms. Pumpkin seeds are very effective against tape

worms. You need to know what type of worm you are

dealing with. It's best to take a stool sample or

even a worm in to your vet to have them tell you just

what critter it is.

I do not know what herbal remedy will get heartworms

or blood worms, nor can I find a good one against

coccidia. Giardia can be killed with Golden Seal.

The tobacco tea is usually effective right away and

you do not have to repeat it unless they have a

reinfection or else if you are dealing with an animal

that is horribly infected with worms. I just boil up

a couple cups water and let steep about a

" cigarettes-worth " of tobacco for a few minutes, then

strain it off and let it cool. I give about a cc per

10 pounds but a double dose is ok if you know you are

dealing with a high volume of worms. Too much will

cause diarrhea. I give this with a syringe right into

the mouth.

The pumpkin seeds I grind up with a mortar and pistel,

but use what ever works for you. I usually mix them

with meat baby food and feed about a teaspoon of seed

per cat. You can repeat it in a month, but I seldom

have to.

I know that black walnut is a common wormer, but do

not use it on either a horse or a cat. It will colic

your horse and poison your cat, however, it has not

been a problem with dogs.

If your horse shares a paddock, you might worm evey

six weeks, alternating wormers. It depends a lot on

how clean the environment is and the other horses that

yours associates with. Of course, cleaning the

paddock is the very best wormer of all. I have seen

studies where a pasture was cleaned daily of all dung

and the pasture next to it was not and the horses in

the cleaned pasture, although not wormed at all, were

remarkably free of worms, whereas their counterparts,

although wormed regularly with wormers, still had

worms.

If you are giving heart worm preventitive to your

dogs, that should get most of the worms they may have.

There is one round worm that ivermec does not reach,

so that would be the only target worm (other than a

tape) that they may get.
