Wormer? and instructions?
As most of you know, I brought my three goats home on March 28th. They were wormed with Ivermectin paste on March 24th (Mudge and Snicket were first fresheners and kidded on March 8 and March 15). I've been using an herbal wormer from Hoegger as directed since then, but I think Mudge might need something stronger. She was thin when I got her, and she hasn't put on any weight that I can tell. Snicket has gained nicely and looks great. Maybe I should post pictures and see if you all think she looks too thin. I know dairy animals are a bit thinner than others, but I don't know enough to know if she's TOO thin.
I checked eyelids on each of them this morning. Snicket and Cookie have nice bright pink eyelids. Mudge's are sort of pale...still pink, but not as colorful as the other two.
So, I'm wondering what sort of wormer I should get since they were treated with the other stuff less than two months ago. I'd also like to try my hand at doing fecals, but am wondering if there is a good site on-line with maybe a video or step-by-step instructions to help me out. Any of you know of such a thing? The lowest our microscope goes is 100x. Will I be able to use that one?
Thanks for any info that you can give!
