Intestinal Worms

[Happy Heidi]

Does anyone know what to do about intestinal worms? Whilst trying to find extra food instead of going into the deadly supermarkets, I looked into freezing grass, which you can't do, lol. On my investigations I found out that piggies can get intestinal worms from grass, Ivermectin will not kill adult worms, so what meds do I need in my 1st Aid Box for such parasites?
Yes, there always is the vet, but for how much longer can we be doing that? Any help will be appreciated to keep my pigs healthy in this matter.

I've never known piggies to get worms from eating grass

Hi, piggies very rarely get intestinal worms, and even if they did, ivermectin would definitely kill them. Drying grass is a better option than freezing it. But still very little chance of worms. You can trust me on this, I have a doctorate in veterinary parasitology, which I imagine most posters on "Dr Google" don't have when they are trying to scare people
