Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 It has been a LONG while since I have been to the list due to lack of time. But I am hoping someone can help me. I gave my goats cydectin pour on orally according to fiasco farm website. 1cc per 25 lbs 4 days after my does kidded. and then someone said and I read there is a 56 milk withdrawl. I am SOOOOO bummed as I thought it was no milk withdrawl but that is only when used on the skin. What should I do. 56 days is a LONG time to milk 2 times a day and get nothing out of it. The kids will be gone on Monday so we will be milking for nothing. We do things mostly organically but once a year I do use Cydectin as last year I tried ivomec injectable orally and it just didn't work according to our fecal tests. Cydectin took the worms GONE I mean not even an egg. Can someone help me not be depressed over this LOL. What do you all do? I guess I should have got the herbal wormer but since ivomec didn't work I was thinking the herbal won't either. I am about to cry. ) I am paying $7 per gallon for raw milk and we have 3 goats and a diary cow in milk. But I don't milk our dairy cow. As she is a pain to milk so I screwed up this year with her. PS I have children and am pregnant so I worry about the cydectin especially for the baby I am carrying and my littlest ones. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 , That is the reason we switched from goats to cows. Our goats kept dieing from barber pole worm unless we chemically wormed them regularly. We are on grass here in SE TX and discovered that they do not do well on grass as opposed to brush. If you have brushy land, you can most likely do OK on Hoegger herbal wormer fed regularly. Tina in TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
