goat question

[RockyToggRanch]

Can I worm my two does after they've been bred without fear of harming the kids?
Is the pelleted wormer okay to use?

NO Harm !! In about a three month time frame .. BUT Iv'e had Goats for a very long time and I believe a pelleted wormer to be a waste of your money !! Get your self some "Levasole" sheep wormer ( good for goats) and a Bolos Gun ... Put the large pill down their throat on the low side away from the wind-pipe !! and watch that they don't spit it out . Your can break it in half and use it on Kids and Lambs !! ......... questions , Postal me .........

This is safe for them while they are bred? It sounds safer than aiming for a throat...but then again, I've never tried it. I'd like to be able to do these things myself and not rely on the vet for maintenance. That way I can afford to keep them

You need to wait until three months after they have been bred. I'm having the same problem right now. So i've got to wait a while.

Last year we didn't know this, and we got a deformed baby.

Also horse wormer paste works the best. Just use 3x the dosage it says, and stick it on your finger then rub it inside the corner of their mouth. Works like a charm, and it's the best dewormer.

Really??? Any horse wormer? or a specific one?

I throw so much away in the end of each tube.

I'm getting ready to order this Herbal Tonic dewormer from Hoeggers. My friend says it works very well. It's safe to use on pregnant animals and you can use it on anything...sheep, goats, chickens, etc.
