Urgent - Goat with VERY pale eyelids! - UPDATE

[Goatgirl47]

Kind of odd that the super skinny one isn't wormy.

You mean Matilda, the brown one pictured above? She had a fecal done before that and had a VERY high load of Barber Pole worms. But we de-wormed her and then the vets took fecal samples from all of our other goats, and a new one from her too, to see if the de-wormer had worked. And it had.

she is looking much better! how are you treating the goats with the high load?

We gave them all one dose each of Prohibit, recommended by a new vet we just started using.

About a week before we found out that Matilda had Barber Pole worms, we had taken a fecal sample from her and dropped it off at our local vet's office. They ran a fecal and said that she had a different kind of worm (triple strongyle). They didn't find any BP worms, so I don't know if that was a (big) mistake on their part, or if Matilda didn't have BP then. They haven't been very helpful in the past though when it came to running fecals on our goats and figuring out what kind of worms (if any) they had.

Well...getting better is better. Hope they all continue inproving.
