I checked Penelope's bottom eyelids, they were paler then they should be. The color is about number three on this chart.
Skinny goat now has diarrhea!

You can get Safeguard at Tractor Supply if you have one
Or you could check if you have another farm supply store
I think it cheaper than that at TSC
But use the dose SBC suggested and not what's on the label

I wouldn't wait to order it online, try to find some local.
I have seen goats still have decent eyelid color but still be have a very very high load. I would try to worm her ASAP, scours, drying up, and her getting that thin so quickly are all very bad. Don't wait on this!

Fenben is available at tractor supply cheaper than that and you get it immediately.

We are going to TSC this morning to get either the Fenbendazole or Ivermectin. Penelope's poop isn't nearly as runny as it was yesterday.

Just be aware that a goat with a heavy worm load can bleed out internally from a quick kill off. That is why the fenben is safer. You have to treat longer...but safer.

Fenben will take care of everything. Ivermectin will not.
Fenben when given properly is still an excellent and safe dewormer.

Today we brought six goat kids (four to be vaccinated for CD/T and two to be dis-budded) to our local vet clinic, and we brought along some poop samples from Penelope and Clover, so the vets could run fecals on them. They both had worms pretty badly, but Penelope worse then Clover.
I will try to give them the Fenben we got from TSC tonight, if not, then tomorrow morning.
While we were at the vet's we weighed Penelope and Kendall's kids, and Iggy & Gloria (DOB 4/03) weighed around 23 and 21 pounds each, while Eddie & Midge (DOB 4/13) were 25 and 20 each. They are getting big.
Thanks for the help!

Glad you got them to the vet and know what is going on.
