I posted about this before and super appreciate all suggestions and help you guys have given!! I feel like I’m still at a loss though I don’t know what else to do for my poor girl
She is now almost completely bald and losing the rest of her hair bit by bit everyday.
I have treated her with ivermectin 3 times two weeks apart, been putting nu-stock on basically her entire body at least once a week as Tennessee meat goats website suggests, every second day I put a mixture of olive oil and coconut oil on her to moisturize and hopefully help suffocate the mites. It’s been getting down to -40C at night here so I have a heater on her which I’m sure is drying her skin out but I have to keep her warm cuz she has no fur :,(. )I gave her Replamin plus gel 2.5cc everyday for a week and now once a week to help give her a boost I’ve cleaned her bedding and sprinkled DE (all I can find around here) before putting new bedding down. How often would I change her bedding? How often can I treat her with the ivermectin?
What am I doing wrong?? How else do I help her?
I have the vet coming out again in two days just wondering if anyone on here has any ideas! Thank you so much again for everyone’s help from my first post!!!
Forgot to add I also have her on goat ration high protein feed and hay and I’ve checked her eyelids and they look a nice pink colour is there any other way to tell if she is anemic? She has normal amount of energy as far as I can tell but I haven’t let her out of her pen area since it’s so cold and I don’t want to have the other goats exposed to the mites...
Also sorry I still can’t really figure or how to post properly I know this should be in parasites topic but I couldn’t figure out how to do that :$
