Copper deficiency can up the parasite & worm loads I believe if they are really deficient.
It's been awhile since I read all the posts here but have you tried using Ivermectin paste topically on the affected areas too? I know I should re-read them all as it seems someone mentioned that already. It is so frustrating I know when your having some kind of trouble & it just doesn't seem like progress is moving quick enough. |

I was thinking the same thing about applying the paste topically. I did it for mites and it worked great. I doubt that it would sting and might make it feel better. What do you have to lose? I'd give it a try.

Hmmmm...would the reason to use Ivermectin paste on the sore be for relief from the itching, or to kill larvae? I think the goal is to stop the itching. I hesitate to even put any anti-itch cream on it. I'm talking about a large, open sore. Seems like it would really sting.

When is the last time you gave her invermentic?? Because my friend of mine did use that just once but it didnt help all the way but I had to get her give the goat one more dose and it went away. You may have do it again..
