Always follow 3-4 hours after antibiotic or wormer treatments with probiotics to restore flora...
Special Note: All injectable Medication can be given , and is preferred, Sub Q (under the skin) ALL medication Except Hormones and Steroids
Wormers
NOTE: cc and ml are the same measurement
Famacha score, Fecals and Condition of your goat (ie: coat, weight ect..) are all tools we should use when determining if we should treat. Treating worms on a schedule rather than when needed causes resistance to our wormers. It is best to use a wormer until it no longer works, then switch to a new one..
Here are some choices we have. There are a lot more but these are most common. To know if your wormer is working, have a fecal done, worm then in 2 1/2 weeks or so have an other fecal done.
Ivomec and Ivomec plus ( this stings, expect a reaction)
1 cc per 40# Sub Q
1 cc per 33# orally ( never give oral in anemic goats)
IVOMEC DRENCH FOR SHEEP0.08% Solution:
Dose is 3 cc. per 18 lbs. for goats
Ivermectin horse paste
3 times the horse dose ( treat a 100# goat as a 300# horse)
Ivomec pour on 1 cc per 20# down the top line. This will not treat internal parasites but can be effective for lice. DO NOT GIVE ORAL
Equamax is Ivermectin 1.87%/Praiquantel 14.03%. ( treats tapes as well)
3 times the horse dose
Valbazen ..: warming: Do Not Use on Pregnant Goats
1 cc per 10# orally
for tape worm..use 3 days in a row
Synathic.. DO not use on pregnant goats..
3 times the horse dose , so 100# goats gets a 300# dose..for tape worm use 3 days in a row
Prohibit . ( levamisole hydrochloride) ** warning** DO NOT USE if your goat is ill or down. Can cause death
to mix: add powder to 17.5 oz water, stir until dissolved dose 4 cc per 100#
Safeguard/panacure...no longer works in many areas other than or Tape worm and Meningeal worm ( deer worm)
horse/cattle product is 4 times the dose
goats product 1 cc per 5#
For tape worm...use 3 days in a row
Cydectin for cattle Pour on.....NOT RECOMMENDED
I know many use this as an oral drench...and it works..but consider what its made of, the carrier that is oily and smells of paint thinner..there are better and safer choices to worm with...even as a pour on, cows skin is much thicker then goats...this can cause harm...
Cydectin for Sheep Drench, 4.5mL per 25 lbs orally
Cydectin injectable 1 cc per 40# injected sub Q / 1 cc per 33# orally
Quest 1cc per 100# (BE SAFE, this does not have a wide safety margin. Disperse out into a clean dish then draw up the dose in a new syringe)
(note: Quest and Quest plus stays in the system for 21 days, do not booster in 10 days with this product)
Cocci treatment
Baycox 5%, ( Toltrazuril 5% ) 1 cc per 5 # at 10 days to 3 weeks old..booster in 10 days if needed
Dimethox 40% injectable (albon) 1 cc per 5# day one 1 cc per 10# day 2-5 Undiluted
For preventive, some prefer doing 1 cc per 10# for five days...see what works for you.
This also comes in a powder form labeled sulfadimethoxine..a 107 g bag. To mix, dissolve into 3 cups water. store in the frig, dose as you would above..
Dimethox 12.5 % is not longer prefered but if that is what you can get dose is 1 1/2 cc per 5# for 5 days
Sulmet 12.5, same dose as Dimethox 12.5%oral
** Dimethox and Sulmet is no longer available over the counter**
My personal Last choice is corid...
Corid: Mix 6 tablespoons of prepared corid to 16 oz water....you can make a smaller batch by cutting it in half. If you have the powder, mix as directed on package than dose as mentioned. Dose: 30cc per 100 lbs 15cc per 50 lbs 7.5 per 25 lbs and so forth
Corid has been known to cause goat polio. It is best NOT to give any b vitamin while using corid, however if you notice baby acting off, drunken, star gazing, dancing eyes ect..stop corid and dose baby with thiamine...continue thiamine treatment for 24 hours AFTER all symptoms are gone
Antibiotics, most often used
PLEASE NOTE:
Don't feed milk 4 hours after antibiotics. To clarify no yogurt, cows milk, formula mixes for four hours. Natural breast milk for the species is fine after 2 hours. Cows milk has an enzyme that deactivates many antibiotics especially of the Tetracycline classes ( NOTE: Liz Weir called the company that makes LA 20o and was told this is true only if given orally)
RX
Nuflor....3 cc sub Q per 100# once daily once daily
Resflor Gold, 3 cc per 100# once daily for 5 days..a note: resflor gold is a combined medication of Nuflor and Banamine. I don’t recommend this blend as doses and frequency of each are quite different. Nuflor being daily for 5 days at 1 cc per 33# and Banamine once a day for 3 days at 1 cc per 100#. It's better to give each separately to be sure dose and frequency is correct.
Excede 1 cc per 40# sub Q...this is one antibiotic dosed 4 days apart..
Baytril 100...4 cc per 100# sub Q once daily
Naxcel 4-5 cc per 100# sub Q..kids 1/2 cc or 1 cc per 25# this should not be confused with Excede dose and frequency.
Excenel: Dose daily at 6 cc per 100 lbs bodyweight. Day One: dose twice 12 hours apart. Days 2 through 5: dose once daily.
Draxxin.. 1 c c per 100# once, booster in 7 days, I prefer to use along with Nuflor between doses
Anafen 3mg per kg every 24 hours
METRONIDAZOLE TABLETS (500 mg) For treatment of Giardia, resulting in diarrhea from ingestion of fetid water, caused by goat berries or poultry feces in water source. Also can be used for scouring kids and adults when Coccidiosis is not the underlying cause. Works effectively against eColi and other digestive system bacterial infections. Dosage is ½ pill, morning and night for adult Nigerians, half that for babies over 1 month of age, for 5 days. Crush pill and drizzle w/ molasses. Use just enough hot water to be able to draw into syringe. Not my first choice, due to the length of time needed here. Store away from sunlight.
OTC meds
Tylan 200...1 cc per 25# sub Q twice daily
Tylan 50..4 cc per 25# sub Q 2 times a day (only recommended for tiny babies as dose would be too much for larger goats)
La 200/300 or Biomycin...1 cc per 20# sub Q once daily ( try to get Biomycin, same meds, less sting)
Know your Penicillin for proper frequency...Regular Penn and 48 Hour Penn
Penicillin G Procaine 1 cc per 20# sub Q twice daily
Combi-Pen 48 1 cc per 20# considered a long acting med is 1x a day for goats.
Pain, inflammation, fever reducer
Banamine: 1 cc per 100# sub q up to 3 days.
Aspirin: Dose 325mg (1 adult aspirin) per 10 lbs. every 12 hours ( do not use if goat is bleeding aspirin is a blood thinner)
While aspirin dose is the same no matter the age ( 325mg per 10#) babies may do better taking baby aspirin. Baby aspirin is 81mg and would need about 4 per 10#, I would not feed that many to the goat but a few baby aspirin may help take the edge off
Ibuprofen children’s liquid is easy to dose..1 cc per 10# ( may prevent blood from clotting, avoid if goat is bleeding)
****DO NOT USE TYLANOL WITH GOATS****

Dexamethason ( dex) dose depends on whats being addressed.I found this helpful post.
Goat 101 Saanendoah info
CAUTION: Do not use in pregnant does, it can cause them to abort.
USES AND DOSE RATES: use the smallest dose that achieves the desired effect in order to limit adverse side effects. In general, anti-inflammatory doses are 10 times the physiological levels, doses to suppress the immune system are twice the anti-inflammatory dose, and doses to treat shock are 5 to 10 times the immunosuppressive dose.
Used as an anti-inflammatory it prevents the development of the inflammatory response. As an anti-inflammatory and pain reliever for joint and bone injuries (dose rate: 1/2 to 1ml/20 lbs). (The relationship between dexamethasone and delayed bone healing without infection remains unresolved.)
For head injuries or "brain burn" following too vigorous disbudding (1-2mg/20 lbs).
For shock (1-2mg/20 lbs). To : 1. Increase capillary blood flow (improved circulation), 2. Decrease absorption of endotoxins, 3. Decrease production of Myocardial Depressant Factor 4. Decrease organ damage.
Following stroke or other cerebral vascular accidents (1-2mg/20 lbs).
Combined with thiamine (B1) to help reverse brain swelling associated with polioencephalomalacia .
Ketosis (4-8ml). Glucocorticoid reaction. The gluconeogenic effects of dexamethasone, when administered intramuscularly, are generally noted within the first 6-12 hours (faster via IV route). Blood sugar levels rise to normal levels within 12-24 hours. Acetone bodies are reduced to normal concentrations usually within 24 hours. The physical attitude of animals brightens and appetite improves, usually within 12 hours. Milk production, which is suppressed as a compensatory reaction in this condition, begins to increase. The recovery process usually takes from three to seven days.
Allergic reactions to insect bites or other allergins (1/2 to 1ml/20 lbs).
As supportive therapy in mastitis, metritis, traumatic gastritis and pyelonephritis, while appropriate primary therapy is administered. In these cases, the corticosteroid combats accompanying stress and enhances the feeling of general well-being.
As supportive therapy while an animal is recuperating from severe debilitation and therefore eats better during the very critical period of early recuperation (dose rate: 1-2 mg/20 lbs 5-8ml to an adult doe, repeat in 12-24 hours ).
As supportive therapy in inflammatory conditions, such as arthritic conditions, snake bite, acute mastitis, shipping fever, pneumonia, laminitis and retained placenta.
To induce labor (parturation) before 144 days. Dex is the drug of choice for increasing the chance of live kids when inducing labor/paturation before 144 days.
May be used in animals with acute or chronic bacterial infections providing that the infections are controlled with appropriate antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents.
CAUTIONS: Because of the anti-inflammatory action of corticosteroids, signs of infection may be masked. Overdosage of some glucocorticoids may result in sodium retention, fluid retention, potassium loss and weight gain.
DO NOT USE in combination with medications of the NSAID class (ie, Banamine (flunixin meglumine), aspirin, phenylbutazone (bute) [note: Bute may reduce the effects of corticosteroids], etc.) the combination of these medications could lead to bleeding in the stomach or intestine.
CONTRAINDICATIONS : Except for emergency therapy, do not use in animals with chronic nephritis (kidney disease). The existence of congestive heart failure, diabetes and osteoporosis are relative contraindications. Do not use in viral infections during the viremic stage.
WITHDRAWAL : Meat none. Milk 72 hours.
STORAGE : Store between 2-30°C (36-86°F).
Dex should be given IM
