Clover's Kidding Thread :D

[Goat Whisperer]

So I just ran a fecal on Clover, and I can see an abundance of parasite(?) eggs in the sample. Too many for me to count. I should worm her now, right? I have a natural wormer called Molly's Herbal Wormer, or something like that. I don't have anything else at the moment...

Also, do y'all know of any wormer that I can use in pregnant goats (Molly's HW isn't for use in pregnant goats)?

Thank you...

Did you run the fecal or did a vet?
I'm asking because many that are new to running fecals often mistake eggs for air bubbles, debris, etc.

What type of eggs did it look like?

Didn't have time to read the article, but there is a pic that shows an air bubble and a parasite egg.

I did the fecal - it was my first time too. I'm the eggs weren't bubbles, I saw bubbles near them though.

I'll try to find a picture of what they looked like.

They looked similar to this:

Lulu and Annie were dis-budded today! They look so funny.
