    Barber pole worms

    I have a billy and his son, a wether, that continue to have diarrhea . They are in 2 separate pens. Two different lab tests have confirmed barber pole/screw worms. I have wormed them with Quest a couple times now. They clear up for about a month, then runny again. Any other ideas? thanks

    I have a Nigerian doe that had stillborn twins in first week of Feb. She was really depressed for a while, and lost weight, but now starting to look pretty good again.

    My Kid Plan - Please review

    Hello All, I have 2 sets of Nigerian Dwarf twins, 6 weeks old. I have Toltrazuril 5% ordered, and should be here in the next few days. I missed giving it to the babies at 3 weeks, so should I just go with 6, 9, and 12 weeks, or add another dose at 16 weeks? 1 ml per 5 lbs. At the same...
