My sheep and goats have worms in their poo.....I'm thinking tape worms segments, but I'm not very sure. They have all been dewormed with Ivormec and safe guard. Any ideas or advice would be very helpful. :)

Tapeworm segments are the generally the only worms that you'll be able to see in the poo.

If you've just dewormed they could have just dumped their load. I would deworm again in 10-14 days with the Safeguard (Ivomec doesn't do a thing to tapes). Make sure you use it for 3 days in a row at 3x the label dose (or 1ml / 10#).

De-wormed today.....by myself. :p I hate de-worming by myself, but if I had to wait for someone to help me they would probably be eaten alive by worms.:barnie
