It's been a while since I've used ivomec wormer, I cannot remember whether its safe for pregnant does or not. Does anyone know?

The general rule is NOTHING for the first 50 days of pregnancy. After that, it's ok.

You only need Ivomec Plus if you're at risk for Liver Flukes, which have snails as an intermediate host.
Unless your pastures stay wet a lot, it's not necessary

Worms/Wormers

Here is a good link with all the wormer info. If I don't absolutely need to worm my doe while pregnant I wait until she kids.

I don't use anything unless I really have to, and nothing the first 100 days bred. After that, I will worm, but I don't use valbazen or ivomec plus on pregnant does at all. Regular ivomec is fine. The plus is for liver fluke and tapeworm, I believe.
