Your horse needs to be seen by an equine veterinarian IMMEDIATELY. These are signs and symptoms of a toxic reaction in your horse, and with out proper treatment by a veterinarian you risk permanent neurological damage and death in your horse. I am not trying to alarm you- this is a very serious matter. Please call your vet- NOW!

It sounds like she is having an allergic reaction to the wormer you should get a vet out quick because if her tongue swells down her throat you'll lose her.

This could be a sign of a number of things. She could have gotten stung in her mouth, have a foreign object in her mouth, a problem with one of her teeth, or worse an infection. I'd keep her hydrated and have your vet come check her out.

By the way it sounds she is having a allergic reaction to the wormer and you should get the vet there as quickly as possible you could lose her if you wait,

It sounds like she is having an allergic reaction to the dewormer. This can be serious and can seriously affect her health. Call a vet that deals with horses often and get their advice, they may need to come out and see her or have you bring her in to the office.

Your horse very well could have had a stroke. If you notice that one side of her body or face isn't mobile then you have your answer. I highly recommend you get a Vet out there to check her out. You never know whats wrong with your horse until you have a professional look.
