Help...my preg goats have lice!!

[BYH Project Manager]

Hi all...I’ve suspected that Busty have some issue for a bit...but, I posted pictures on a different forum and was consoled that it was just her thick winter coat. Since Stormy never nibbled, I thought it was ok...fast forward....that gave both been doing it lately. Tonight I got them on the goat stand. Saw nothing on Bust...but, on Stormy, I saw, little brown, roundish...fast crawling guys...lice! I had bought the perthyerin before when I suspected it...the kind you do on the ridge of the back. Because it’s winter...I don’t want to get them wet?.? Going to TS. First thing in the morning to buy whatever you all say...have to remedy this situation ASAP for the girls and the kids!! But...they look great!!

Camphor infused rapeseed oil is a herbal remedy for lice problem in any animal. However I am not sure if camphor is safe for pregnant goats, because I have never had goats.
