LOL! So true!
One of my Nigi's, Lola is the one who everything happens to. The yard they are in is relatively empty (read safe) but her hoof got caught in the wood floor of the barn, she crashes off the feed containers. Basically, if anything can happen, it will happen to her.
Looks like the Pro's answered your question, I was just going to tell you what very little I know!
The stress of moving and new environment likely allowed coccidia to grab hold of the little one. I'd follow the advice and look into what the ver charges to run a fecal. If you can afford to...
I got my order from Jeffers today and I apparently ordered Ivomec Plus to deworm my goats.... is this okay to use on them?
I'm going to start dosing them with the DiMethox today as well, hopefully we'll kick this Cocci's butt!
ETA: I forgot to ask dosage to give orally..... 1cc per 35 lbs?
Okay, now I'm worried! I didn't realize there were different types of Cocci. I thought Coccidosis was Coccidosis. The lab tested for everything that was testable from a fecal. I took in 1 sample because I figured if 1 had something, they probably all have it. The vet said we would treat...
I had a fecal done, showed significant amounts of Emeria - Coccisidosis. I've been treating all 3 does with Corid, and have DiMethox on it's way from Jeffers. I've also wormed the tiniest one with Safeguard, as she was starting to have diarreaha. I have Ivomec on the way as well and I will...
I have things in my cart to order and can't figure out which Ivermectin to order to deworm my goats.... It's not the same as the Hoegger Supply Ivermectin, it said it is not labeled for goats...
I just got my 3 little sweeties on Saturday! I've been just giving them alfalfa hay, free choice minerals and water. I have medicated grower pellets but haven't given them any yet, since someone has started having smooshy poops. Figured I shouldn't start them on anything else. They also get...
Totally agree with you Kate, in fact that is why I did the fecal test in the first place. I know for a fact they have had 2 doses of the CD&T, but that is all. I was planning on worming, bought the Molly's herbals in advance. Now I guess I will do the Invermectin.
What do you use for Cocci...
Thank you for all of that info!
I spoke directly with the vet and she did explain the chance of a B1 deficency. She told me what to look for (uncoordination). She said that there was a significant amount of eggs, and that this particular type was best treated with Corid. I totally get what...
I got the results from the fecal and they tested positive for Eimeria - Coccidia =(
Fortunately I have Corid on hand and she gave me the dosages to give for 10 days. She also recommended worming them with Ivermectin. I had planned on using Molly's herbals, but maybe I will do that next...
Thanks Kate!
If it wasn't pouring rain I'd go out there to see what goat food I got at the feed store. It's not pellets, it's "Farmer's something ration". Maybe it's not the right thing for these little ones. I went in looking something 16%, and it's what they sent me home with....
I do...
I got my 3 nigi's this past weekend. They are sooo sweet! I have 1 ten week old doe, and 2 sisters that are 9ish weeks. I can feel the spine and hip bones on the two smaller gals. They have been weaned and were eating alfalfa hay at the farm I got them from. I figured I would keep them on...
I'd like to revive this older thread. If I am going to get a *few* things to have on hand, what are the must haves? I've copy pasted that list, and can only find a few items between the feed stores and would have to order the majority online. That is assuming I would know what to do with any...
