Hi BYH, it's time for me to deworm my herd but one of my does is four months pregnant (babies are due between 26/8 and 4/9 ... Two questions:
1. Is it safe to deworm her?
2. Is there any time you shouldn't deworm a pregnant doe?

Safe-Guard(fenbendazole) is safe for pregnant goats just not lactating goats.
Valbazen can also be used after 45 days of pregnancy
Rumatel/mortantel is safe at any time.
Oral ivermectin is safe for pregnant goats, though ivermectin for goats period is off label.

Those are all the classes of dewormer for the US, each class has several different
"types/brands" that you can google and it will tell you for sure if they are safe or not.

Also with the exception of Valbazen, those I listed you can worm at anytime.
