Does anyone have any advice on how to treat this? I have been fighting it for almost 6 months now. It started as a small patch on her udder and has now spread to her ears. Our local vet admits that he doesnt know alot about goats and said it is a fungus and gave me some anti fungal pills and I gave them to her for four months, it would clear up but as soon as I stopped the medication it came back the medicine cost me 2.00 a day to give her. I am terrified my other goats are going to end up with it. Another vet I just found recommended iodine baths and I have done that and also to try Listerine. I am up to trying anything now just to get rid of it. She is bred so I am limited on what to give her and not hurt her babies.
Please help, I feel like such a horrible goat mom for not being able to help her. She doesnt seem to be in pain, when I touch it she lets me if she is eating.
Thanks

Read this thread thoroughly. Get the ingredients and make the skin mix. You will need to get Gentamicin from the vet. I would apply it once a day though.
