Thanks Dave,
I have looked into the python dust. Do you wash your goats after application at some point? Are you worried about it getting on your saddle pads, panniers, and such?
Thanks
Here in the USA the Injectable version was pulled off the market a few years ago.
You can still buy injectable ivermectin for cattle/sheep/swine. This is what is recommended for goats rather than the horse paste. However, you should probably not inject it unless your goat has a major parasite load and is in danger of bleeding out from too-rapid worm die-off. The injectable liquid used orally works better and faster than if you inject it. I've found that most of my goats don't really mind the taste and some even like it. It's easier to give and less messy than most of the pastes I've used. They seem to have a harder time spitting it out than a paste, probably because the amount of liquid you have to give is so small compared to the amount of paste. A quick squirt in the back of the mouth, feed a cookie and we're done.
no, dont wash it off. They will drop most of it themselves by doing their shaking.
