20kids beat me to it!! haha I had my time though. lol

I know that you MUST inject it and you have to do it several times. Once won't work. I would do 1cc per 100 pounds but that's me. I would do it every 10 days but 11 I'm sure would be fine though. There are other ways of treating mites but this is the easiest, even though I'm not a big deal of worming when not needed, and this is still worming. My favorite way to treat mites won't work because it's winter.

I couldn't believe you overlooked mites in your first post. You must be a little tired tonight. LOL

There is a dip, that works really well, a big job for an entire herd, but for just a couple goats it wouldn't be that hard. Then again, might be kind of cold for a dip. And it smells horrible. So does the NuStock, wear gloves.

Leg mites.

harder to get rid of than lice.

Last winter was our first time dealing with this. Starts at pasterns and works its way up.

rub lots of NuStock on bald and scaby areas, to knock off any dry skin. scabs look more like yellowish dry skin.

Treat with injectable ivermectin every 11 days for 3 teatemens. AS an Injection. Stings like crazy, We did it in the arm pit.
We used 3 cc per 100 lbs, but I have heard people using anywhere from 1cc per 100 lbs(that is the dosage on the bottle up to 5 cc's per 100 lbs.

I am assuming it is in the back of the leg more so than the front, but as it progresses it wil work on up his legs to his stomach and just continue to get worse.

I'll have to check for mites tomorrow. I've got invermectin here. Will have to look up what the NuStock costs though and see about getting it tomorrow if it is mites.

So I'm looking for yellowish dry skin?

When you get a chance post a picture. it is very easy to recognize once you have seen it on other animals.

It isn't scabby, like brown scabs, it is scaly and can flake off in thicker areas, may even be irritated and a little raw looking under the thicker areas, But normally the baldness is starts at the hair line around the hoof, in the crease of the pastern area and as it advances works its way up the leg.

I'll try to get a picture in the morning.
What section would NuStock be in at TSC, assuming TSC carries it.

NuStock is like $13.00 for a tube and can be found at feed stores, I have seen it at almost all of our feed stores. It is great for any fungal, mites or skin rashes. Not just for Mites. But if it is mites you will need more than just the NuStock, since there will be mites under the hair as well that you wont be able to kill with the topical lotion.

You wont beable to see the Mites.

I think it is sold with the horse stuff.

Well I've been talking about copper issues in goats and selenium issues all day and that's been on my mind. (not my goats though ) I didn't even think of the mites till I posted. I was like, "Wait, hair loss is nearly always mites!!"

I like using sprays of something that I can't type because I KNOW I'll get it wrong. lol But I wouldn't get a goat all wet in winter like this. I really hate to give them Ivermectin though. May be your best bet though.

Marlow - You would see flaky skin.

We had to treat 30 adults and 45 kids 3 times in a row. That was a blast.
