Several treatments, or de-wormers, can be used. First, perform a fecal egg count on your goat to determine what type and how many worms you are dealing with. Just collect 3-4 fecal pellets and take them to a large animal vet. They should do a detailed, accurate "fecal" for $7-$10. Next, find a de-wormer that kills that type (or types) of worms. For tapeworms or lungworms, use "Valbazen". For roundworms or strongyles, use "Ivomec Injectable". For a broad-base, use "Cydectin Pour-On". Dose at 1-2 times the recommended label dose for cattle and sheep. If there is a heavy worm load, dose higher for 3 consecutive days. Then after 10 days, do another "fecal" to determine whether you solved your worm problem.
