Answers

have you considered diatomaceous earth (DE) until they kid? i don't know if that wormer is safe-some wormere are said to cause abortion or deformities. i'd call the manufacturer of the wormer or your vet and ask them.

Hello maire,

There is another forum on Lusenet devoted to goats and many worming questions have been answered there. Copy, paste and come on over and visit!
