Scours in an adult doe is usually worms. Check her lower inner eyelid by pulling the eyelid down with your thumb. The inner surface should be a deep rosy or salmon pink. If it is pale pink or white she is anemic from worms. Kidding causes dormant worms to become active. I recommend using Ivomec (or a generic) Injectable for Cattle, give it ORALLY to goats at 1 cc per 25 pounds (about 3 times the cattle dose by weight). Give for 2 days than repeat in 2 weeks. Check all of your goats, where one is having a problem they all are likely wormy just not as sick yet. This dewormer is very safe even at very high overdoses you must be absolutely sure to give enough. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||
