Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 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.

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.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 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.
