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.
