On Tennessee Meat Goat's website, she talks about an AWFUL prevention treatment for the meningeal worm, where, if I remember right, you have to monthly inject ivermectin and give valbazen during the season for the worm.
Does anyone do that? That would be really hard!

I'm sorry you lost him. Maybe you can get some guinea hens to eat the slugs and snails that are the intermediate hosts for the worm? I am surprised that the monthly wormings weren't enough to prevent this. :hugs Sometimes our best just isn't going to work; it's the unfortunate side of owning livestock.
