Valbazen is usually be dosed at 1cc per 10 lbs. It sounds like you are doing what you can for them. It takes time to expel all the worms and to get rid of the anemia. But it sounds like you have a great goat mentor.

Have you taken a temp on them yet? Judy may have shipping fever or the start of a respiratory infection. She may need antibiotics. You can use Tylan 200 for over the counter. Nuflor or Draxxin is very good but are both Rx.

You can just buy a cheap digital thermometer from the baby section of a grocery store.

It does sound like she may have some sort of respiratory infection going on. Could have picked it up at the auction. But some antibiotics should clear it up. Otherwise, sounds like you have everything under control.

With them both living together, Color could easily pick up what Judy has. If you are treating Judy for pneumonia, I would go ahead and treat Color

I would treat her 2 weeks from the last treatment.

There can be good outcomes from the Auction. You just have to be careful. It is hard not to take something home when you go.

Tylan 200 is specifically for respiratory infection. LA200 is a general antibiotic. It can help. The Tylan would be better. But it is up to you on how bad the girls are and if you need to start right away or can wait. The generic of LA200 is fine if you choose that route.

The thicker stuff is much easier with an 18 gauge needle. Glad it went better for you.
