Can't get rid of Parasites!

When you say you would piggie back the herbals with the chemical treatment, do you mean give the herbals at the same time?

 

I have ordered the 2 herbal mixes from Fir Meadow LLC, so the next challenge will be how to get them into the goats... LOL

 

I wish! I haven't found something they ALL like yet. I need to experiment with the 2 new does who are quarantined with parasites to see... I will start working on that! My other 5 goats are very opinionated on what they do/don't like and it's been hard to find something they will ALL do anything for. I can work on that more too. One likes canned pumpkin, rest don't... none go for molasses.

 

I will!

 

I'm waiting for the herb formulas to arrive from Fir Meadow, and I tried honey on the 2 does needing the herbs, and they ate it!! WooHoo! They finished their 5-day Corid also. Crossing fingers!

 

Still Battling. I treated Isabella & Emmie with 5 days of CoRid, and Isabella also got 2 cc Ivomec on 12/4 and 12/14. I got the Fir Meadow Herbs after finishing CoRid, and treated both with 5 days of herb mixes - DWA and Soother (dosed with honey!)

Then I had a fecal test redone, 7 days after completing CoRid:
Isabella went from Coccidia 7850, Trich 450 on 12/2, to Coccidia 39,650, Trich 600 on 12/15. (she may be pregnant)
Emmie went from Coccidia 7900 on 12/2, to Coccidia 7050 on 12/15.
Suggestions?

 

Thank you for your time! I was told by another person who has done Famacha training and updating this year too, that 7-10 days was an okay time to retest after CoRid. They have had copper. They got B+ after CoRid. They are in a dry lot, small area (quarantine). I have never had parasite issues like this before. Barberpoll is not showing up on any of the fecal tests.

It looks like I need to try Sulfamethoxine next (generic Albon) if I am going to do more medications.
Fir Meadows has given me a heavy duty protocol for every 2 hours the 1st day, reducing gradually after that. It turns out that using honey to make herb balls, they love them, so that makes it a lot easier!

 

I'm writing again here to see what opinions folks have regarding what should I do next to wipe out the parasite problem in these 2 goats. I am doing the Fir Meadows herbs protocol, but wonder about the medication route - or did I truly retest too early?

I'm confused with different instructions from different folks. I was told I could retest at 7-10 days after finishing CoRid, so I retested at 7 days and it showed one goat with an explosion of Coccidia and the other with an only slightly less amount. But maybe 7 days was too soon? If that's the case, should I retest again at 2 weeks post CoRid?

 

On the CoRid powder instructions, I did follow TGS instructions. 20% Powdered mixture: 10.5 T. to 1 quart water. Dose: Figured at 30cc per 100lbs.

 

It was done by UC Davis in CA, a well respected lab. Someone here thought I retested too soon, 7 days after last day of CoRid, would that be a reason why the one doe's count exploded from 7900 before CoRid to 39,000 after CoRid?
