Nope.

Get Cargill brand, "Right Now" - Onyx.

That's what you need for goats. If you have sheep, too, don't let them get it.

For coccidia - get Corid - any good feed store will have it in various sized bottles.

Dosage = 6.25cc per 25 pounds of goat for 5 days

Can she use quest dewormer as an alternative to Cydectin? $10 is easier to swallow.
And that mineral by Cargill can be hard to find. Some alternaives that are easier to locate would be good. Or where to get it on line?
Just askin

I buy my Ivomec by the syringe since I only have 3 mini goats and don't want to buy a big bottle. Maybe your vet can do the same for you with Cydectin???If your having trouble finding Cargill brands then just get a small bag of some loose cattle mineral to hold you over until you can find someone to order it in for you. Look at the label and shoot for the highest copper ppm. I had to contact the Cargill plant in Sioux City IA to find a dealer that would order it for me...and it's still a 40 min drive away. But they got it for me in 2 days.
Just some ideas...

Yes that is a good suggestion about Quest if you only have a few animals.
Check out this site on small ruminant parasite management.
Excellent reading.

When I worm with a chemical wormer, which I don't do often, I use ivermectin injectable, only I give it orally. Works for me. But like I said I seldom worm them. I make sure they get a mineral lick. I buy mine from Goat World and is Pat Coleby's mix. It contains dolomite, sulfur, copper sulfate, kelp and salt. The copper helps keep the worms down.
