Goat Medications You Should Have At Home

[@ivorycopenhaver5877]

I love the information you provide! I am a Nigerian Dwarf breeder and anytime someone asks me about videos to learn about information, I usually direct them to you! Thank you for the awesome goat content!

[@kerrytaggart8206]

Would like to breed Nigerians in northwestern Ontario. Looking to buy some f you can direct me I sure would appreciate it.

[@linneafreeman6571]

For goats that are more susceptible to worms, I'd recommend using a stronger dewormer and staying away from Safe Guard. Also you make sure you do your research as to what dewormers work best for your area. In my area, Safe Guard is basically like water and it's useless and a waste of money because it has been overused and all the worms are immune to it. I use Valbazen because that's what works best for me, but definitely ask other local farmers or your local vet as to what works best in your area to combat internal parasites.

[@chrisazar7950]

I use ivermectin except for tapeworm. White worm, white wormer.

[@TallCFarms]

Your area. What really matters is your goats. Have you over-used safeguard? Your goats' parasites will only be resistant to what you have used as wormers. If you can't or won't do fecals every time you worm, it's always best to rotate wormers.

[@40streetblack79]

Yeah,but Freeman,safeguard & pancur are the only ones with fenbenzole, which iz the only ingredient that kills whipworm,so you need safeguard l rock with valbazen but l dnt know if kills whipworms,does it but lm get safeguard bcuz of the ingredients!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Great goat med tutorial buddy....I'll be using this as a reference when I need to treat my goats

[@ericpattersonk8eep953]

This video was a big help the last two days. My new goats where stressed and had one not doing very good. With a little reading and watching this with a trip to the store both are up and playing harder than ever. Keep up the videos.

[@evelyndenton4840]

You didn't mention Selenium, although it may have been in one of the other things you mentioned. I watch the Vet. on NG channel and he uses it a lot on goats , a general weakness that can cause death. Love your show, I am 86 years young, raising goats right along with you. Pretty wife, great kids, and I love Jacoby.

[@audreyabdo7719]

Good info Daniel. If goats will eat turnips with or without roots, they’re loaded with thiamine. so get a couple of five for a dollar pack and sow them and give them the greens as a snack and extra thiamin. I use the roots in my stews and they’re so good.

[@vondalear3933]

hello arms family homestead. i wanted to thank you for this video. i have been watching your you tube channel for a few weeks now, and this video here helped save one of my young goats. she came from a auction, and the person that got her decided she was too small for her herd, and gave her to me. after a week or so, i started noticing her neck, jaw seemed to be very swollen, and she had some loose stool. i separated her from my other goats, and gave her some ivermectin, and also some antibiotic in the hip that my friend had on hand. she never quit eating or drinking, but i could just tell from the way she acted she didnt feel good. its been 3 days now since i treated her and her jaw/neck is already less swollen, and she is acting more like a young goat should act. i will keep a close eye on her just in case. anyway, if it hadnt of been for your video, i wouldnt have known what to have looked for, and might have wound up losing her. my goats are basically my pets, but i do sell their babies once they kid, and sure dont want any problems. thank you once again for this informative video. my knowledge of goats is very limited, but i am learning. thanks daniel.

[@victoriasquiers3189]

Really learning a lot from watching your videos. Plan on raising goats eventually and your goat videos are really helping. I did work for this lady that crosses boar with Nubian to get a meat goat with milk and she has great success with it. She also has other livestock and when any of them are having a harder time with weight or wanting to give them a boost she adds calf manna to their feed and let me tell you. That adds on the weight fast. It's worked with my horses and dogs as well.

[@anndennis7163]

Iodine is good for navel dip, and treating injuries. Also a bleach water combo 1:10 for large skin tears will keep from paying a large surgery bill to stitch those tears up. I wash with the bleach water then spread honey on the injury and cover with gauze if I can. works great on horses, goats and sheep.

[@terrylindsey3255]

[@TallCFarms]

Excellent summary. I wrote it all down and I'll be covering these points with my vet. I've raised horses for decades and when you have a good relationship with your vet, you can do SO much more at home as they know you understand and can accurately describe symptoms and treat from that.

[@markwest5262]

fresh green pine needles copped up and mixed with breed or christmas trees are a great dewormer and snack for are nubian kiko goats on are small farm and we have ran into hoof root with a few of are girls when trimming there hoofs. After we trim there hoofs we put hoof n heel med and cover it in a sock then put them in some dog boots for 3 days and it kills the root i have found

[@burtontrott726]

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION ON MEDICATION FOR GOAT OWNERS TO HAVE ON HAND.

[@NellieGirl]

Good job. We have had goats and sheep for years. If was going to recommend a person new to sheep and goats a video to watch this would be a good one. I would suggest a nursemate paste to keep on hand for weak or slow to get up newborns. It gives them an extra boost in cold weather if they are slow to get up and nurse.

[@littleblondebatw]

Good info! Still don't know if we're going to do goats or not when we move, so this is good.

[@stevenl8420]

Just curious if a goat does get worms and i dont notice it or dont catch it in time can my kids or my chickens or anything else get the worms from the goats? And also if i butcher a goat that has worms would the worms be in the meat? And be possible transferable?

[@carolhargis7680]

Worms are generally species specific(the exception is sheep & goats have the same parasites), meaning each species has it's own version & cannot be infected with worms from another species(they call that being a "dead end host"). That's why multi species grazing is recommended. Each cleans the pasture of the other's parasites so everyone is healthier. Stomach worms live in the digestive system so they do not infect the meat, although an animal with a heavy parasite load will tend to be unthrifty & therefore have less meat on them. Btw, I'm not a vet. Just been raising (& learning how to keep healthy) goats for 8 years & counting. 😍

[@staceysmith2697]

Goats & dogs have same worms.

I am a veterinarian from India۔Nice video Daniel۔ Is there a case of PPR or FMD or HS or ET disease in your farm or around your locality ؟

[@vickisumrall1540]

Just shared with my daughter in law, who is a new goat momma. Just an ODD question: how were you feeling when you made this video? Do you remember? Dogs will often know things like anxiety, heart rhythms, seizure activity, migraines, sugar highs/lows and other health problems. They will pester you trying to tell you. Hope Bear just wanted a ball thrown but when he pesters you please do a health assessment. My dogs (4 at different times of my life) have alerted me to seizures an hour b4; heart palpitations 20 minutes b4; panic and PTSD; and currently my dog alerts me to migraines 30 minutes b4 I have auras that used to be my signal. Dogs are incredibly sensitive. Bless you for your videos!

[@GoRosieM]

We copper bolus our goats about twice a year or when they need it. Especially before the doe kids. We have Nubian dairy goats.

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

Cool. I've never used copper bolus but I've read where lots of other people have.

[@carolhargis7680]

My vet had a conniption when she found out I was giving copper to my goats. 😂 I have since stopped to see if the copper in their feed, coupled with copper in their water from my water pipes & the copper in their loose minerals is enough. After 2 years, no one is deficient, so I guess they don't need the extra. But if goats are just on browse, hay, don't drink from copper water pipes(although I know people who throw a piece of copper in the bottom of their water troughs)& don't have loose mineral with copper it would be a necessary addition to their diet as I've read they do need more copper than other ruminants.

[@diaeddinismail]

Friend plant mugwort its excellent plant for worms and you will not need any of these chemicals

[@diaeddinismail]

One good thing about this plant its a snake repellant and when you see your animal eat from it you know she or he is sick and you keep your eyes on that animal in specific

[@MauroEsquibel-i2r]

Thank you mister this info helped alot

[@pmessinger]

It would be helpful if someone had video of goats showing these different symptoms. Has anyone already seen anything like that? Or have I just missed it?

[@carolhargis7680]

Head tilt & circling can be caused by 2 things I am aware of. What Daniel talked about here is called goat polio(I'm sure there are KZbin video examples out there). The other is Listeriosis, a bacteria found in spoiled silage, moldy feed, & in the animal's digestive tract. It is zoonotic(transmissible to humans & other species). Thankfully, Daniel's goats had the best of the 2 conditions(if there is a "best" case).

Many thnx for this video .. I wish had come across this video sooner.. I did loose a mum goat recently .. based on symptoms you mentioned it could have been Coccidiosis. there was no fecal test. The vet made blood test and gave 2 courses of antibiotics .. did not help. Her 2 kids died too after .. :( ..

[@ArmsFamilyHomestead]

That’s a bummer

[@Forester-qs5mf]

good video but your advice on rotating worm drenches is outdated. rotating drenches actually increases the speed of parasites developing resistance. These days its recommended to use the same drench until you start to notice resistance and only then change to a different drench.

[@newdayfarm9463]

This is exactly what the Dr. Thomas Craig with Prairieview University said yesterday at a goat clinic I went to. Wait until resistance then switch.

[@msgottaneedtoknow]

This is good to know... I’ve always learned to keep switching. Even then they weren’t really sure.

They need more vitamins and grains, if the previous owners fed them differently and you only feed them grass they are loosing major much needed vitamins. A food change can really upset any animals balance.
