I think I have a case of lungworms in my herd. I was told to give this injectable wormer orally but I don’t remember the dosage. Can anyone please help?

I live in Florida we have so many parasites and I’ve never wormed them I have had my two does for about a year, i think it’s time, I am about to use safeguard.

Thank you! Just Pmd you back and then saw this

It’s so hard to find information on deworming. What’s the best route for internal worms/parasites? Ivermectin given orally? Is that ok to do? I’m very confused about deworming. Pour-on will only help external parasites like mites right? Can I give oral and pour on around the same time or is...

Thank you all for the feedback. I’m happy to say that treating baby Star with betadine twice a day helped and the abscess is completely healed now and she did get her vaccine booster and is good for the year. Sad to say all my goats ended up with a lump from this CDT vax and my adult dwarf doe...

Thank you, I will give it to her then. But in a different spot of course. And will rub it because I don’t think my friend did that.

I just cleaned it for the second time today and it looks better it has scabbed over

I feel so bad. I will keep treating it and skip her booster.

Thank you for the info! Think it’s ok to vaccinate her with the booster again Wednesday? Or should I start all over once the abscess heals?

All 5 of my goats got their CD-T vaccines done almost 3 weeks ago. No reactions, everyone has been acting normal. I am still new to goats and this was my first time with injections so I had my friend who is a vet tech do them SQ while I held my goats and watched. She decided to do all right...

Wow, you just made so much sense to something that happened during the week when all the ducks got taken. I found a half eaten mutilated duck underneath the tree, and I was just so confused on how this happened. It makes sense now, the carcass fell from the branches. Dammit. Well I cannot...

I’ve been telling myself the same thing. She’s still new. Maybe I should leash her and bring her with me to do all the animal chores. I was also thinking the age too. And I need to get her spayed ASAP. She does have my other dog to back her up, I’ve been leaving her outside at night now and...

I have a Mastiff X Black Mouth Curr I am leaving outside with my PYR X Karakachan now. I think as a team they will work very well together. I'm going to try to trap the bobcat, somehow, i'll put the trap on the other side of the fence i suppose

Ugh, yes It's never ending :( I trapped one a coupe years ago.. I will try to trap this one again soon. They're not the easiest to catch.

Update! My dad spotted the culprit tonight! Bobcat! Now where do I go from here? They're so stealthy! Should I try training Indie to recognize when the flock is in danger by all the loud sounds they make? I have trained my farm dogs to do this before with the distinctive alert calls that...

So I'm not exactly sure, I know the lady had a male PYR that was the sire of the pups, she told me the two dogs would patrol her property, that they wore down the grass on the perimeter of the fences because of their patrolling, I have not seen Indie do this at all. I feel like they got Indie...

Ugh I hate to think about that! I have been checking on them all throughout the night, and I put a bright motion light out in the pasture too. I might end up looking for another LGD since you've told me all of this. I was worried I didn't have enough work for two. I will definitely let...

Well they're all in the same pasture, I meant "out" because they don't want to go in a pen of any kind, my chickens get locked up "sometimes" (when i'm off work because i'm home when they're ready for bed) and the goats stay out in the pasture all night.

Wow, I had no idea!! :hu Well I will hopefully know by next week what it is because the cameras are hopefully going up Sunday

That is good to know because my pasture is about 1/4 acre. So you had two LGDs in a smaller area? My neighbor swears there are coyotes around. I’ve never heard any. Wouldn’t they dig under the fences?
