BTW your supposed to look at bottom eyelid; healthy goats top eyelid is often white

Good info. I've had goats about 2 years now, we have Dapple Boers & some Nigerian dwarfs. One of our boer does had triplets 8 weeks ago. They seemed healthy. Then one of them started acting a little off. We took her to the vet & they said she had worms bad. We did everything we could, worming her, also giving vitamin B & electrolytes.. Sadly she didn't make it. She was fine one day & 9 days later she's gone. She went down hill fast! Everyone else seems to be doing great. I'm still learning a lot about them but it seems odd for one goat to have parasites so bad & everyone else doesn't? Their all together in same areas. We rotate pasture, they have plenty of shelters. I'm in southern SC, we have had a lot of rain past 2 months also. I didn't know wet weather could cause them to get worm worse.? We added a great pyrenees to the heard last year. He has been awesome & nice knowing there's someone out there keeping an eye of everyone & the coyotes away! It's amazing how such a big dog can be so gentle with kids goats

Yes right now with the does weaning kids and the worms are thriving it can cause a problem. Thanks for watching

check bottom eylid because there are more vessels and often top underlid membrane has very few vessels

If you can get some red cell. It’s an iron supplement for horses but I use it when I have an anemic goat along with the other things you are doing and it will help them bounce back.

Hey Josh. Great looking doelings. Have you ever used prohibit? By no means not telling you cydectin and valbazen aren’t effective. But as an addition or a plan B dewormer I personally think prohibit is the best there is.

Prohibit saved several of my goats when cydectin/valbazen combo was losing effectiveness. I was, and still am, nervous to use it because you have to measure carefully to prevent deadly overdose.

This wet, warm winter has also given me chase on worms. I have one that was fine and then got slammed. She's my herd queen, so i think she's masking a bit. She's still eating and drinking, still feeding her kids & giving her typical milk quantity. But her body condition is the worst I've ever seen it. It's not typical kidding/milk loss. Did a fecal on her & it was not good. All sorts of worms, lots of round & barberpole. Switching to a different protocol and pulled cydectin to combine with safeguard (not great) because that was recommended. But what I can't find is when to redo her fecals to recount & watch for resistance. In my mind I think 10 days, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions? Giving nutri drench, b-12, and red cell, but I'm so nervous about overdosing with drug classes or causing resistance. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@BoisDArcKikos

Жыл бұрын

I would wait longer than 10 days on the fecal maybe 2-3 weeks I would worm her again in 10 days then maybe the fecal will look alot better. We do a mix prohibit and a white wormer like valbazan or safeguard if we have to worm.

Can you name the products you used and where you bought them?
