I forgot to add that the doe that is down is eating and drinking (Thank God). She has moved a little overnight. So far, so good. I am trying to find someone to talk to about what I should do about the pasture. Going to keep them in the barn for right now, and when we get done deworming, we are going to clean it out really well with loader tractor and manure spreader. I have some Boar does penned next to them, and I'm going to move most of them over with some other cross does we have. The only exposure they have had to the Nubians is the Nubian kids sometime sneak through their pen out into the barn. I consider that minimum exposure.

I wouldn't do anything to the pasture. Just keep your new ones in quarantine, (barn, drylot, whatever) give the dewormers and supportive therapy. I would deworm 3 times ten days between each one, and then do fecals and check for anything remaining. Once they are down to low egg count numbers and doing better, then put them out in the pasture.
