Question Need Speedy Worming Advice

Just got a Nubian doeling born late February and I want to reworm her before I integrate her... She was previously wormed with Safeguard, which I haven't used. Would y'all recommend I use that again (and at what dose? I know you have to triple Safeguard, right?! ), or ivermectin? Unfortunately I can't get cydectin or valbazen on short notice, ie: today (Saturday). I have to get this done this morning as I've got to go out of town later today.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

If your using the Ivermectin paste for horses then yes its 3X the amount per weight. (If the goat is 100lbs. then give amount for 300lb.)
If its the injectable then its 1cc or ml per 50 lbs.
I only use the Safe guard on babies first time worming.

With Safeguard, I dose 3X the dosage on the bottle.

With Ivomec injectable, I dose 1 CC per 50 pounds, orally.

I do know of goat owners injecting Ivomec at 1CC per 30 pounds, in extreme cases. I have not tested that dosage yet in my herd.
