She says she's read documented evidence of necropsied goats on this drug where it was evident thiamin was blocked and also did damage to the liver where it was excreted.
................................
And I say manure....also what dosages were used on the goats. There are old 80's dosages that were given for 21 days, anything given orally that long is going to cause problems with the rumen. The rumen is where all the B vitmains are made, in a healthy rumen, anything you are doing to make the rumen unhealthy is going to deplete the goats amount of B vitamins.
Corid does nothing to the goats B vitmains used the way it should be, it blocks the cocci occysts ability to utilize it, not the goats.
So invite her to share this documented evidence. I have used it off and on, mostly on for most of my goating experience, my goats sort of speak for themselves.
I do feel for you though. IF you aren't adept at fecal sampling, you are pretty much stuck listening to this and that and trying to desern fact from manure.
It would be pretty tough for Corid no to work because of the drug it is...like saying you could build resistance to moving from age 12 to 13
Now sulfa's can build resistance since it kills occysts. Most don't get that there are several mg/kg of sulfa's and then you add the fiasco farm way of giving sulfa for goats and you can see clearly how come it fails in some herds. I also purchased two overdosed kids that had during the spring been overdosed on sulfa to the point they had medical intervention for it...they were/are fine as adults but I would never use another sulfa on them again.
At some point in your goating experience, especially for those who want to make some money at all this...learn to fecal, then you can stop having to listen to anyone about what does and what doesn't work on your farm. But you also have to know how the med works, and what you are actually seeing on fecal. And prevention is always preferred to treatment. Vicki
