    I have 3 10 month old bucklings in a pen together, one of whom was recently treated for coccidiosis and worms. We put him in a separate pen with two buddies after he finished his course of treatment, just to get him away from the other boys who were harassing him and not allowing him to eat...

    Hello! I am just wondering how much selenium I should give my goats. I am pretty sure that I am in a Selenium deficient area. I have just been giving Selenium/vit. E paste every 30 days and loose Purina goat minerals free chose. This seems to be working fine but someone told me that was way too...

    Hi! I'm looking for recent info on the usage of Toltrazuril. I have had a really hard time with cocci. Basically, I had two does come onto the farm with it. Both had been treated with a preventative using Corid. When they arrived to me they showed clinical signs of cocci and then my vet...

    Just picked up a new lamb a few days ago, and the owner did mention that she needed to be dewormed. I was up for trying to get her better and back to good health. Went ahead and did a mix of Ivermectin and safeguard, and the first round is already done and am looking to redo in 10 days. I've...

    I messed up when we vaccinated our first batch of babies a couple of weeks ago and gave them 2cc each instead of 5cc. So now I'm wondering how to fix this. When I give them the booster should I stick with the 2cc recommended dose? Should I increase the amount given for the booster? Should I keep...

    My doe Pippi had some issues with staph this past year. Nothing too major, and I think it was caused by her immune system getting overtaxed. I have addressed what I believe to be the underlying issues there, so hopefully, her next freshening will be better. But I thought it might be wise to give...

    Hello everyone! I need to deworm my children but math isn’t my strong suit... I have a mixed herd of saanens, myotonics, boers, and Nubians. And they’re all in desperate need of a deworming, however the only dewormer I could get at my current location is LevaMed (levamisole hydrochloride)...

    Hi Everyone - need some advice. I have 5 bucklings ranging from 3-5 months. We had them all banded last month by our vet. The bands are still on though all of their testicles appear to be flattened and hard. The issue is that on all but 1 - they have developed infections around the band. We...

    I am still new to goats (about a year and a half) and one of my does almost tore her hoof off and I have been wrapping it and cleaning it with diluted iodine and triple antibiotic ointment. I haven’t started the antibiotics though I’m not sure how much to give and how long and where to...

    What would the safeguard dose be for an 18 pound goat with tapeworms? I think it would be a little over .4 but I am just double checking. I will probably end up using Valbazen, but I will see if I can clear it up naturally. He has been dewormed with EO's, and I have been giving him 2 cloves...

    So, I know that you are supposed use bigger doses of oral wormers on goats. I usually use 4xs the horse dose. But do you do the same with Ivermectin Pour-On? Or do I give it as the label directs? Thanks, in advance!!!!!

    After almost a year of procrastinating, I am finally dehorning my adult goat, Comet. He has caused injuries to my dogs, lambs, and other goats and occasionally turns his horns to me (playfully, but it doesn't feel very good). So I have all of the equipment to do the banding method and I've done...

    So my two Nigerian Dwarfs bucklings have not been given any CD/T shots and I will be banding them today. I read that they need to be given Tetanus anti-toxin to prevent Tetanus, but I have no idea on the dosage since they are smaller goats and only 11 weeks old. I also read that the anti-toxin...

    I bought some red cell yesterday to give my mytonic goat who is anemic. My vet usually uses Hemax but said I could use the red cell but she wasn't as familiar with it and wasn't sure of the dosage. She said also give it to her every other day due to the copper in red cell. Does anyone know the...
