Hello All,
I have a Nigerian dwarf Goat who has recently begun to breathe more rapidly than normal and pant with her mouth open after activity. She thus far still has good appetite and does not seem to have any nasal or eye discharge. I am thinking maybe lungworms? Does anyone else have experience with this? I was reading up on wormers, it looks like Levamisol or Invermectin may be a good choice, I am concerned about the possibility of O/D with Levamisol, is Invermectin as effective for lungworms? Any advice on dosage and route? I am new to goats and want to make sure I am doing the right thing. Any advice or anecdotes would be appreciated, TIA!
