ps worm the other goat at the same time.
I actually just recently started using the Cydectin for sheep which is a drench and have been using it on my goats at the same rate as is listed for sheep and we are having great results. It will not last as long as the Cydectin pour on, but the end results seem to be better. For an example - a few days ago I got a Boer Buckling from a good friend who had wormed him with Cydectin pour on. Looking at him today I noticed the start of bottle jaw. I checked his gums and eyelids and he was pretty anemic. I dosed him right away with the sheep drench and next week I will do it again. And then maybe a third time to be sure. Normal drenching with Cydectin Pour on seems to a OK for normal light worming, but we keep dairy goats mostly and we hate to lose milk production. With the drench our milk production comes back with-in days as opposed to weeks with the Pour on drench method.cmjust0 said:Re: Cydectin...Rockytopsis said:You need to worm her.

Do you use the pour-on as a drench, or do you give the injectible as a Sub-Q?
We did the pour-on drench thing and, man...that stuff smells like rocket fuel or something! Last time we wormed, we switched it up and drenched with Ivomec injectible.. They didn't much like that either, but at least it didn't smell like it was gonna strip their guts when it hit bottom..
