We use Cydectin.

YOu just want to make sure you are using one that still works on haemonchus (barber pole worm) in your area. Cydectin *should* but i can't say for sure.

You should only use Ivermectin Plus if you have problems with liver fluke worms, because it is hard on the goats liver. You can use regular Ivermectin. We also use Cydectin.

I think there is a long milk withdrawal on the plus, too. We only use that on dry goats.
