Dose of ivomec for kids and scours

[Southern by choice]

We started using nothing but Toltrazuril last year
I don't think there is anything better
One dose and no cocci
It's not USDA approved but in Canada the Bayer brand is Baycox
We order ours from a website in Panama but it's shipped USPS flat rate from FL

I had wondered if you went with it or not. I know you had used the dimethox before.
Glad you switched over and are liking it.

Alot of vets haven't heard of it.

We now use it as a "preventative". I think for many though it may be cost prohibitive if they only have a few goat kids a year. It expires 1 year after opening and comes in 200ml bottle and can be kinda pricey. At least the price has come down over the past few years.

We are giving it as a preventative too

Funny thing about expiration dates
Dr C told us we needed a new bottle of BO-SE because it expired in April
Dr Y told us his goats got nothing but expired meds because he could not give them to clients

Some meds just lose potency after awhile and it may/may not be an exact year...just a nice round number for the label. Other meds actually break down and become other things that might not only not work but aren't great for the goat. I am curious as to what impact time has on our cocci meds.

I like the idea of Baycox too. We use Dimethox because it is quick and easy to mix up and cheap. Were prices and availability of Baycox to be similar, I would go that route.

We had a half bottle left last year and used it... it did not do it's job so we immediately ordered a new one. New one worked fine.
This year we ordered ours early because they were expecting a shortage. I won't risk that again. We still keep a packet of Di-methox on hand as a just in case thing.

We got a new bottle this year too
We didn't try what we had left
Good to know it loses its effectiveness

I agree with @Pearce Pastures & @Southern by choice.... it does sound like cocci.
