Then probably not liver fluke but the Ivermectin Plus would work on both so it wouldn't hurt as long as no one is pregnant. If they are severely infested with even Barber Pole worms injecting instead or orally might be safer. It won't work as fast buy you don't want the cure to kill them.
Funny, I just saw your post. I read no for pregnant does and I have no experience so I would say NO.
There is so much information out there, it is hard to know what to believe. I just NOW read that Iver. Plus will only work on the 4th stage of Barber Pole worms. So now I don't know what to tell you.
Sulmet will treat cocci but cocci doesn't cause anemia.

But it has Ivemectin in it at the same dosage as the regular Ivermectin so I don't know why it wouldn't work. But I wouldn't give Plus it to your pregnant goats.

You mentioned having fowl. I am wondering if there is a possibility of the goats picking something up from contact with birds or bird droppings.
I would def. be giving the goats b vitamin and iron supplements. Also probiotics. Anything to help beef them up while they are under this attack.

I know with flukes we had to treat every 10 days for 30 days.
We had Kiko's come in with Flukes.
The vet at the time said " Flukes aren't in the region"

Did the ducks and geese get rid of the flukes in the field?

If I remember right, they eat snails which are the intermediate host...or is that that something else...

Got the lab report back !!! It basically said due to a previous infestation of barber pole worms but there was not barber pole infestation currently? And that there was a very high amount of coccidiosis, so much they couldn't count. So It said the death was from malnutrition and animaia. I feel so horrible, like its my fault. I don't know how he became malnourished the other three in the pasture with him are very fat and happy.
