Pepto Bismol?

You can also order it online from Jeffers...

I called the local Farm Store and they didn't have the cydectin, so since we needed to go to the Walmart tonight I decided to stop in the TSC, instead of calling first.

I figured if I couldn't get the cydectin I could always get Ivermectin there to give her while I orderd the cydectin online. Well they had the cydectin (only bottle left) , but man that stuff is expensive . Anyway I gave her 3 cc of it tonight (she barely weighs 50#).

The question I have is do I give her a second dose tomorrow or is 1 dose enough?

It doesn't have any directions for goats but I went by the 1ml per 22 # to come up with the 3 ml (cc) I did give her.

Thanks everyone for all your help,

That dosage is correct. I know, I was shocked how expensive it is as well, but it will last you quite a while, and it does work. I would suggest worming the rest of your herd with it as well. I would wait about 2 weeks before giving a second dose.Don't worm her again tomorrow, it will be too much on her system, and unnecessary. Then get back on a regular worming routine. I would also give her some probios again as well. If she still doesn't seem to get better, it could be cocci as well. I have had more of a problem with it this last year than ever...not sure if it is due to weather, warmer winters the last couple years or what. All kids get a cocci preventative no matter what! Hope the wormer does the trick, keep us posted!

Sorry for this newbie question.

If it is Cocci what do I do now?

FYI she still had runny/clumpy poo this morning.

She is also due for her CDT booster this afternoon (she had the first one 3 weeks ago since I wasn't sure if she had ever had one).

By the way, DW thinks I'm over reacting to all this.

Thanks,

FYI: The active ingredient in Quest for horses IS cydectin.

Smaller quantity, easier to administer, lot less expensive if you are only dosing a few.

I use Di-methox for cocci which i ordered online. Do you have a vet? you can always do a fecal and find out for sure what you are dealing with if it isn't clearing up. How old is your doe? Cocci usually is more of a problem with babies but older goats can get it as well if their immune system is down.
