worming goats

[canaan]

how often do you need to worm goats? i have 3 nigerian dwarfs; mom and 2 two month old babies. thanks.

i do mine every 90 days, some do it every 30 just depends on what kind of wormer you use

I worm any new goat right away.
I only worm when I see signs of worms with my regular goats. Like weight loss, white inside of the eye lids. It doesn't happen often. Maybe once a year.

is dry, flaky skin a sign of anything?

Quote:That can be a sign of lice, mites or a mineral deficiency.

ETA: Biting and sucking lice have to be treated with 2 different kinds meds.
