I have goat that potentially had mites. He went to the vet and was treated. It got better but then it got worse again VERY fast. I’m waiting for a call back from the vet for both issues. Also, my goats have been losing a lot of hair (their legs are okay) I thought it was shedding until today and I saw how bad it was. Any ideas of what this could be? The hair loss on the body is a different goat than the legs. They are 4 wethers.

The vet said they would need a biopsy and have to send it to Ohio State for further testing (very unaffordable) due to already having the treatment they can think of. They all had ivermectin incase of it being mites. I’m attaching what they’ve been treated with. I would like to see if anyone has experienced it and what cured it before I start trying everything

I have had one goat with listeria and took him to the vet. They didn’t think he’d make it and I was able to care and save him at home. I would like to try and do this from home too rather than spend more money at the vet
