i think my 4 month old goat was overwormed. Please help, new owner!

[redtailgal]

Is there anyway that you could post a pic of the third eyelid you are referring too?

IF ITS COCCIDIA, ARE THE OTHERS IN DANGER AND Y ARENT THEY SICK? ONE IF THE GIRLS SEEMED VERY TOXIC AFTER WORMING AS WELL BUT BOUNCED BACK.

Since you just moved all the goats to your farm, you are probably seeing a more pronounced stress reaction on this 1 particular goat. Parasite impact, including coccidia impact, can be significantly affected by stressful events for the animal (in this case moving). The other goats may not have been as stressed by the move, or may have a natural higher tolerance to the parasites. In general, 1/3 of your goat herd carries the majority of the parasite load.
This goat's reaction is reason to be vigilant and watch the others, but not necessarily reason to "shotgun" meds to the entire herd.

I have a heavy load of worms and coccidia. the vet recommended 1ml iron dextron im and repeat in 14 days.
Corid 20% powder, mix and give 25mg/pound daily for 19 days.
panacur/safegaurd @ 150% of reccommeded dose / day x 3-5 days.

Wud this be something u wud do?
The Corid says its for bovine, can I give it to my goats?

YOu can use corid. There are other choices as well for the coccidiosis, albon, sulmet and sulfa-dimethoxine.
The panacur/safeguard may not be a strong enough wormer, I would use it at 3x the label dosage. I would redo fecals in a couple weeks or if no response switch to a stronger wormer.

If you just have a couple goats you can use quest Plus for horses at twice the label dosage, that will clean up the worms very well. Although it may be a good idea to try a weaker wormer first.

Or ask your vet for a few doses of synanthic.

Thank oyu so much for ur response.
I gave all 8 goats the iron and sfegaurd last evening.
I was abt to order the corid but wud rather do something that u know will work, I am already attached to these guys and they know that I am trying to help them.
the little billy is still down but is eating and drinking. I stand him up every few hours and he grazes. I wasnt sure if goats can lay long as horses cannot.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

If you are ordering something for cocci for just a few goats I would order the 40% sulfa-dimethoxine.

 

[steph1972]

I actually don't buy the 40%, we use the 12.5% in the gallon jug.

There is also powered, initial cost is cheaper, but harder to store the unused portion. And a little harder to mix.
