Marek or Coccidiosis?

Here is the first report. I immediately went out and put goat dewarmer in their water. I thought I was doing good on the deworming....guess not.

Worms and coccidia are both parasites. Unfortunately the body was in decay, and they did not identify or say what parasites they were. The owner could possibly get that clarified, but they said they have treated with Safeguard in the water. SafeGuard goat wormer is given orally at 0.23 ml per pound of weight for 5 consecutive days. It settles out in water, and the correct dosage is hard to gage.

That is what I'm doing wrong. I thought I put goat dewormer in the water. But I also give them "worm out" in the water and "ivermectin paste" on bread.

Hmm, no tumors and no indication in the report that they think it is Mareks so that is good news!

Different workers work best on different worms, you may want to do a fecal float test to identify exactly what they are so you can target them.

I requested that they end out the tissue for mareks exam.

I'm so sorry it was Mareks, it is good that you know for sure. There are some good posts and resources on BYC and online.
