Thank you FizzyGoats. It's been heartbreaking and now rewarding to get this report, to see the girls playing again
Using Essential oils to worm
Like many of you, we have battled worms hard again this season...Barber pole worm especially... Ivomec plus no longer works for my farm and Valbazen, although I have not fecaled yet to check...doesnt seem to be working very well either...I ordered Herbal Wormer from Land of Havinah and was having pretty good results with acute dosing...but when I added Ess. Oils...thats when we saw pink...pink lids that is deep pink. I have used EOs in my goats care for a few years now, this is the first I tried to focus on worm load...I am convinced the EOs put us over the top in our battle!!
what we did:
During crisis we dosed both herbal and EOs twice a day
once we were out of crisis we went to 3 days on 4 days rest...
now we are on once a week. ( we did notice tape worm today in the kids pen so they will get a few rounds of 3 days on 4 days rest of the oils.
Oils and amounts used
1 drop each of
oregano, wild orange, lemon grass, digeszen and for the unbred goats, clove is added....this is in 2-3 cc of olive oil
we started with 1/2 cc for kids and 1 cc for adults....
this was our trial run...we think upping this dose to 2 drops each in 2-3 cc per adult standard animal...and 1 drop each in 2-3 cc olive oil for kids..as our weekly preventive treatment....many are having luck with 1 drop per 50# in carrier oil....just need to figure out what works for each. Im very pleased with the results we got...I just need to learn to do fecal's to keep track :smile:

I just realized I left out the kelp and parasite, also kelp and herbamins free feed before sending in the fecal test... I leave it out all the time...
I guess it's working with the 1 time a week drenching herbs and oils. Do y'all leave it out before sending in😳

It's fine to leave out. It's not like chemical dewormers where we want to wait 10 days after to fecal.
That's a huge relief. At first I thought oh no I just cheated and didn't know it ... afterthought was... I'm not going to stop what's working and change anything for test .. 🥰
Hi all. I have a question about milk for human babies:
Can you use parasite formula and EOs on your does if using the milk for a baby?
Thank you!

Thank you!
I did here. We use both LOH parasite formula and do terra essential oils. Never had an issue with the babies. But I would discuss it with Kristie of LOH further to be sure.
Thank you! Its perfectly safe was Kristie's response in case anyone else has the question too lol❤I did here. We use both LOH parasite formula and do terra essential oils. Never had an issue with the babies. But I would discuss it with Kristie of LOH further to be sure.
I have to pop in to say that I’m so grateful for all the help here in this thread. I feel like I finally have a method down and it is working.
I just ran fecals on all my goats and it was the best results I’ve ever had.

It's an awesome feeling isn't it!?🙌❤
When you say you add one drop each oil to 1cc evoo…what is evoo?
Extra virgin olive oilwhat is evoo?
Thanks!Extra virgin olive oil
I seem to remember that somewhere in this thread it was recommended to do one drop each in 3ccs of evoo. That's what I do. And no more than five drops of any type in 3ccs. If I need to do more I add an extra cc of oil. If I'm adding clove in the mix, I air on the side of caution and dilute that one further since it is a hot oil and can burn the throat. I do more like one drop of clove per 4ccs.When you say you add one drop each oil to 1cc evoo…what is evoo?
Correct me if I'm wrong here, Cathy.😉
Yup..i do a minimum of 3 cc EVOO . I too add more when using hot oils. And if anyone fussed after getting a dose...I give more EVOO plain to help. Don't use water...😉
So I took a fecal into the local lab a couple weeks ago after doing my own and thought I saw a good bit of cocci but wasn't sure... report came back no cocci, yes to strongyloides...
Dosed with loh, EOs and safeguard due to the new does weight loss.
Sent in a fecal meadow mist first of last week. Labs are cocci moderate. No strongyloides... I've been wondering about this lab locally..
How do I use EOs for cocci or is it the same as with barber pole etc?
Thank you

I don’t have the most experience and have limited EOs as I’m just getting started with it all but I use oregano and clove when I’m treating for coccidiosis in the goats (along with either LOH and fresh garlic and/or tummy tamer). If I had cinnamon EO, I’d add that as well.
Good advice. Be sure to use extra olive oil as clove and Cinnamon are hot oils.
Thank you I'll add the clove! I don't have cinnamon yet. How many times a day and do I use the oils? And do I use intensive loh protocol for moderate cocci? They're all drinking the tea and eating free feed parasite with kelp..

When mine had coccidia, I used herbs and tummy tamer twice a day and oils twice a week. I’m not sure what is recommended though.
