*Body condition scoring, gotta get your hands on them (pic1)

*FAMACHA score (pic2)

    *Tells us if animal is anemic

        *Anemia points to possible parasite issue or MH

        *We perform fecal and deworm with appropriate drug (pic3)

        *Or we treat for the "silent killer" Mycoplasma (MH)

*Give injectable ivermectin (pic4) to prevent M-worm EVERY 30 days!
