Goat with mysterious external parasite

[chickenpredatorkiller]

Well, its mysterious to me at least. I have a female Pygmy Goat and I noticed a bunch of little lice looking things in her fur. I looked at lice, fleas, and louse on google images and they don't look like these things. Any idea what they are? IF so what are my options?

You might want to post pictures. Could they be tick nymphs?

Mites? I'm no goat expert though. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

goats can get lice.... treat with a dusting agent for lice.

Treat with injectable ivermectin if it's feeding off the goats blood ivomec will kill it. You may have to retreat weekly depending on how bad the infestation is.

Well, an employee at tractor supply told us to use seven dust in her fur and rub it around so we did and it worked. Is Seven dust safe to use on goats for parasites?
