Yes. One goat can have mites or lice. One goat can have a worm load. Goats or any other livestock are individual animals.
Can One Goat Have Mites and Not the Other?
My buck Phantom has come down with some sort of major hair loss. His hair is thinning on the backs of his back legs and on his sides and stomach. But, his brother Cullen looks fantastic. His coat looks better than it's looked in a long time. They are both housed in the same pasture and sleep right next to each other so is it unlikely that what Phantom is dealing with to be mites?
I am fully aware of how tough it is to figure out skin and coat problems. I'll probably start with zinc for Phantom and go from there. I'm suspicious it's not that though, because I've seen that before and this doesn't quite look like that. I'm thinking I'll do NuStock too.
