We have dosages up on goatkeeping 101 of dairygoatinfo.com Please make sure you know your mg/kg of the sulfa before you dose.

In areas where cocci problems are real, some places dosages would not touch cocci for prevention even. Make sure dosages come from folks using them and fecaling to know they work. Vicki
