Title: Lice on goats
Post by: nudibranch on March 24, 2023, 06:54:13 pm

My two Anglo does have both come out in lice. Neither are in kid or milk. Both the Togg wethers seem fine but I'll treat them anyway. I suspect the crawlers have come from a new group of Herdwicks so I'll have to do all the sheep too I guess.

Anyway. I have Deosect and Crovect. I *think* the Crovect is the best option but I just wanted to double check. Has anyone else used it on goats?

Mine have also started to show signs of lice, they seem to build up over winter :( .
I've heard of crovect being used, but I prefer Spot On, which I'll be using this afternoon.
