Just got the results of my first fecals.

Well, I just got the results of the first fecals that I sent off. Can anyone give me some advice? Should I deworm? Four goats need nothing but maybe three do. At least Cocci is out, I am happy about that. These are my results.

Anyone? What should I use? They are Pygmy/Nigerian.

I would treat all but Brandy for barberpole with valzban, follow directions on the label

I wouldn't worm the others.

I used ivermectin horse paste today. I split a 150 lb dose between Isabelle and Peanut and gave Jack a 150lb dose.

Agree with @OneFineAcre , and watch Belle closely as the barberpole worm can cause problems quickly. I do believe that valbazen is safe for pregnant animals, you need to check the label. It is about the best for barber pole that we have used.

I meant to add that we have used Prohibit for barber pole worms in sheep with very good results. I don't know about the safety for pregnant..... but it seems to me it was okay. Check the labels.
