Reply To: New horse tank with issues

Hi Pete,

thank you very much for the detailed help! As you state, a fenbendazole treatment is not really an option. What I’ll do for now is clean the tank, do several water changes, and wait until the parameters are better before introducing any further horses. The last remaining horse seems happy and since the freshwater bath yesterday hasn’t exhibited any of the signs the other three did before they keeled over. So perhaps it’s a light infestation only.

In the absence of the horses do the nematodes continue to proliferate? Or are the horses the only hosts for them in my tank?

Thanks

Balthasar
