Goats are like sheep in many ways. The way their digestion works and the worms that attack them. Carla got sick overnight. The vet said he was positive it was worm related and prescribed a new wormer which covered more variety of worms. The problem was that this chemical was so strong it was to change the fact that the girls could be milked. He explained that it would be fine for the babies but not for human consumption. I was torn, if I didn’t use it, she would probably die, if I used it, there would be no milking. Even though I knew they were not milking goats, I had heard that Boer goats were dual purpose meat and milk. I wouldn’t get the chance to find out as I didn’t want to lose her. Over the next few days she recovered quickly and life went back to goat normal for her.
