Oh, what a cutie. Looks maybe Nubian/Boer cross?

BoSe is an Rx vitamin E and selenium injection - you have to get this from a vet. You can also use equine vit E/selenium gel, but I have no experience with that product.

Copper bolus, I can tell you he needs one based on his fish tail. There is great information on copper bolusing here:

I prefer to use the copasure v/s the sulfate drenches.

Paste ivermec dosage is 3 or 4 x the equine dose - so say you have a 50 lb goat, you give them 200 lbs worth of the paste. Always round UP to make sure you don't underdose. It is very difficult to overdose.

If he doesn't like the BOSS, try Calf Manna instead.

Thank you, he is a cute guy and just as sweet as can be! The lady we got him from said he was a Spanish Goat, but I don't think she knew alot about goats either.

Thank you for helping me. I plan to try your recommendations. I hope it helps him.
