Thanks for your replies. I did end up using it on 3 does - they are all doing fine today. Obviously I'm keeping a close watch on them, I will let you know what happens. I just needed to try it myself to see how it worked. I will keep you updated on the situation.

We just discovered a few does with CL (no I didn't have a sample tested but I'm 99.9% sure that is what it is because it's in the right spots). Back in the day when I was in 4-H my Dad used to lance them but I really don't think that is going to work now. I have been reading about injecting...

We just had the same thing happen to our only Pygmy, and she was bred too. We ended up having to get an antibiotic ointment from a vet for the eye, along with doing the Pen G inj, and did that for almost 10 days. Once that was over and she looked much better we returned her to the herd. Hope...

Thanks, might do this next if the Cydectin doesn't get them!

^^I'm sorry, I wasn't very clear to begin with. This is our first time using Cydectin on them. We first used Safeguard and then Ivomec Plus. My husband only used it on the ones who had pale gums. Definitely don't want to add to the resistance problem. And we did use Red Cell and definitely...

Stomach worms... I had a vet check a fecal after doing the first two dewormers and they still had quite a few eggs. Probably primarily barberpole because they had bottejaw really bad when we first got them, which has gone away but they still don't have good body condition IMO. They still have...

I'm sorry to post this, I searched as much as I could to find the answer on here with no luck. Do I need to repeat it in 10 days or is one dose enough? We have already used Safe guard and Ivomec plus, this is our third attack on these stubborn worms.

I forgot to add that the doe that is down is eating and drinking (Thank God). She has moved a little overnight. So far, so good. I am trying to find someone to talk to about what I should do about the pasture. Going to keep them in the barn for right now, and when we get done deworming, we...

Thank you so much for all the replies. Here is my current game plan: Give ivomec plus, B complex and Red Cell today. Come back and give Red Cell as needed, and deworm again with Cydectin. I am almost embarrassed to admit this, but I am a Registered Vet Tech, and totally feel like a fish out...

My husband bought a herd of Nubian goats approx a week ago. They were not well taken care of, super skinny and starving. I noticed that their lids were white, so we dewormed them 5 days in a row with Safeguard. A couple days ago I noticed a few of them had a large jaw. Now yesterday one of...

I tried giving him a bottle of whole milk but he wanted nothing to do with it. He is actually doing OK, looking a little better. He is nursing his mom and sneaking off of a few others. He's a trooper. He's actually growing so so far so good. Thanks for the comments!

I have a boer kid that has mucous in his eyes and little bit of nose discharge. His mother has little to no milk. He has been getting by but looked really bad today. I have brought him in to our basement. He also had 3 gates fall on top of him, thank goodness I was at the barn when it...

Luckily surviving triplet is a male and will definitely not be staying. We are definitely selling the billy and most likely the doe.

Well we were going to wait until today to put him down but he passed away last night which in all honesty was probably a blessing for everyone. We actually bought a group of does pregnant a couple months ago. We have the Billy but are trying to sell him, which I definitely think will be best...

Thanks so much for everyone's help. ksalvagno - Thanks so much for the link, that is exactly what he has. He is still alive but he won't nurse at all, his jaw is so malformed. We have tubed him a few times. I think the humane thing to do is put him down. Even if we get him to nurse he is...

http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/uploads/7986_imag0349.jpg I am new to this - this is a link to the picture I took of it. Hope it works!

I thought I had seen it all... 5 legged calf, 2 headed calf.... but apparently there is still more. We had triplets born today, the runt died, the biggest one is still with mom, but the other one has something I have never seen before. It's upper jaw is deformed, so it only has one nostril...
