Loving the herd life
Hello all,
New here and new to goats and I apologize if this topic has been hit on before. I purchased a ND buckling about a month ago and over the last month he has developed a dry flake almost like eczema over his entire body. Very dull coat as well. My first thought was a kind of parasite but my girls that he runs with are perfectly healthy with no dry skin and shiny coats. I have since done oral drenching of Ivermectin at 10 day intervals because of pale lids on all but one in my herd. They are a grain free, small mixed herd of 3 boer mix does and my new ND.
He is 3 months old and otherwise healthy. I have done a bathing and a Diotamaceous Earth dusting and the wormer. Not sure of what I should do next. Will post a picture shortly
