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.
