one of my little goats - not sure which one - has some clumpy poops. I haven't had fecals done yet. Just some quick searches, it sounds like its a sign of worms, specifically barberpole. Is there a 'how to deworm a goat' sticky or guide? is deworming an oral thing or an injection? Are there other causes to clumpy poops other than worms?

thanks! John

Deworming is an oral thing when it comes to goats.

Clumpy poo can be caused by parasites / worms, hormones, stress and dietary changes.

Get a fecal before you decide to deworm.

I have a link in my signature below for internal parasite management but it doesn't tell you the "how of deworming" just the whys and preventions along with info on different classes of meds.
