Can you worm a lactating mare?

Yes, there are many products such as eqvalan (ivermectin) paste (available brands vary widely across the world) which are safe to use in pregnant or lactating mares - I recommend sourcing this from your vets office to be sure the brand is suitable and that a safe dose is used for her weight. It is often preferred not to use in the first two weeks after foaling
