worms

I have situation that is close to an emergency: My sheep has severe worm toxicity, and I ran out of my regular dewormer (all-natural plant-based). As a backup emergency option, I have some Duravet Ivermectin Sheep Drench that has been in my livestock first-aid-bin for over a year, and I've never...

So we've been struggling with lots of parasites in a few of our sheep. The vet confirmed we're dealing with barber pole and tapeworms. We're following his protocol for treating them, which includes giving an iron injection. Well, we've lost three sheep now, all of which had the iron injection...

Hey guys, we have a ewe lamb that's about 7 months old who has suddenly developed runny eyes and loud breathing. She has actually been in a dry lot for a few weeks with a couple other ewes while we treated them for worms and anemia. They are being weaned back onto grass now. Her eyes are not...

Well, I just got the results of the first fecals that I sent off. Can anyone give me some advice? Should I deworm? Four goats need nothing but maybe three do. At least Cocci is out, I am happy about that. These are my results.

Hi all, The vet just told me that my goats have barber pole worm. Now this is my first experience with this issue. I’m freaking out to be honest. I have a bottle of safeguard, but the vet said to go and pick up ivermectin from her, which I’m going to do in the morning. Am I in a race with time...

Hey, i just got back on town from a 3 week trip. When I left my 9 year old Saanen was fine, but now she is very weak and won't eat. She definatly has worms which I already treated with cydectin from the vet and SafeGuard. I believe she must've gotten them from the baby kiko I had a month ago...

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...

Hi! I just adopted two Nigerian Dwarf wethers from, unfortunately, a less than trustworthy farm. The kids came with what we think is worms, lice and what we think was an eye infection. I finally decided to join a goat forum group to get some experts advice on them! My instagram where I will post...

Hello everyone! I have a tiny goat that seems to be prone to illness. She is a boer/nubian that is seven months old, but was in a set of twins and born very, very small while her sibling was born normal size. At seven months, she only weighs seventeen pounds. I was recently given a goat that...

Ok so hit my bunny herd this spring with a round of corid for cocci and fenbendazole for stomach worms. But thinking my jrs need a dose. They are doing ok but not in great flesh condition. They get hay bellies very easily and had a couple new owners concerned about bloat. I don't know that they...

So today I was cleaning the coop and I noticed some white worms that were wiggling around in a piece of poop. I was very grossed out-as I have never had to deal with anything like this before- so I quick just shoveled the poop in the bag and tried to clean the coop faster. However, I wished I...

One of the goats had clumpy poop and I found an overload of coccidia (as seen in the pic, which I will treat) and also this weird looking worm thing. Do you know what it is? Pics are on medium power. Thank you! @Goat Whisperer @Southern by choice ETA: I was looking through my...

Do herbal wormers actually work? Maybe just as a preventative? I have never used any, but I know some significant goat websites sell them and claim they do...

I saw this forum doesn't have many posts on it and not much activity, which saddens me. I'm a big fan of using natural means to maintain health when at all possible, especially for animals. Lately I've been exploring the same methods for my dogs, though I've used natural methods on them down...
