Thank you Scarlett Dragon. They are pygmy goats, not milked and just pets so sounds like Dectomax would be ok to use. However, I completely take your point about only using medications when absolutely necessary. We’ve put Sudocreme on the bites today so hopefully that will help treat them and clear them up. I hadn’t thought about them being hair follicle pustules but it would make sense as they are both moulting badly and growing their summer coats at the moment and Misty does seem to be moulting particularly badly this year. We’ll hold off on the Dectomax for the moment and see how she gets on with the Sudocreme for a few days.
Should we apply it morning and night? Being pygmys, they are into absolutely everything and so I can’t see the Sudocreme staying on for very long!!
Thanks again for your help.
