Suggestions for introducing new goat

Hello. After loosing the other goat, I am finally getting another one. My current goat is finished with all her medication and gaining weight.

I have been to several places looking for a friend. None had goats that I felt comfortable with; too thin, obviously sale barn animals, tiny teets, and wild!

I am going back to where I went for my current goat; where the guy was chatting with me while a baby he was holding was sucking on his ear! I spoke with him earlier and I had the impression he preferred I wait to get another goat from him until she was healthy. I really preferred that also. I am still very upset with myself for her getting sick from the other one.

Anyhow..... Should I do anything with this new one, like yogurt, any meds, or anything, to help boost her immune system from the stress of moving?

Thanks all..

Alot of folks worm their new goats just becuase of the stress of the move can cause a worm explosion sometimes, depends if it's a kid or a little older goat, etc.
