Equimax shortage?
We've finally had a good freeze, and I'd like to worm with Equimax for tapeworms, except I find it's backordered until well into 2016 at all places I usually buy wormer. I don't want to use Zimectrin Gold, I've heard too many bad stories about it. Anyone in the business know what's up with Equimax?

I've always preferred them as I think they put less pressure on the withers and neck. Yes, the Wug does bunch down, but it still puts less pressure on the neck. I bought one of these for last year, and really like it. http://www.adamshorsesupplies.com/centaur-1200-snuggly-turnout-sheet-203729#92=10...
