20kids, did you have the fecals done at your vet or sent off to a state lab? I would like to stress that sending a fecal off to a state lab gives a much better picture of the worm load in your animals than the fecal done at the local vet. I know because I have done fecals in the past that were done at the vet office and also at the state lab and the state lab came up with more parasites than the local vet fecal found.
ours were done at the state lab, it is 10 minutes down the road from us.

I used to live about 37 miles north from you in Woodstock. What is the address to the lab you use? I contacted an out of state lab and they charge extra for out-of-staters. The guy I talked to also was not very optomistic about my goat recovering (like it was going to be a waste of my time to test). He was like " well it could be this but we need to run a test for a whole year".......and "well it could be that but we cant test for that until she dies"..... and I was thinking "why don't you just rain on my parade?"

You could also try a veterinary school if one is closer. Since they are teaching hospitals they tend to be better then your average veterinarian. Of course like everything else some are considerably better then others. We love Auburn (AL). They've been very good to us and reasonable considering we've had some really weird stuff happen this year.
