So I noticed a few lice on my doe today. In this day and age we tend to over medicate everything so I would like to deal with this as naturally as possible. Would a small amount of garlic in her nightly feed help? (Can she have that)? Also, I know for humans and other species, a natural mint oil...
Hey people! First things first, this is NOT my goat. It is my neighbors, I just brought it home because I am more suitable for helping it at this point. He is a 4(?) Month old kiko cross. Very tiny. He is extremly wormy, I belive the worms have become immune to the wormer my neighbors use...

I have an approximately 3 week old lamancha kid goat who has been to hell and back. In the last week and a half he has overcome polio and now salmonella/ecoli. Today I noticed, he has lice. I've been reading online about ivermectin 1% injectable to get rid of them. Is this safe for him? He is...
