So I bought the pour on version today to worm the goats (2 boer does and 1 pygmy doe), and to treat a rooster with scaly leg mites. As I was reading I found that it does not work very well on goats for intestinal worms (but I also heard otherwise). Now, when I was feeding them I was giving the one a good looking over and found lice eggs. I checked the other one and she too has some eggs. It went unnoticed because their fur is white. Now I'm thinking that I should use the pour on to treat the lice.

I'm So Confused!!!!

I have not opened the bottle so I can return it for the injectable/oral version. However, my one doe is extremely skittish. It takes 4 people to hold her to do her hooves. The only thing I can to it briefly touch her while she is eating, and even that has to be quick or she runs. That is why I chose the pour on in the first place. The other two are fine with being touched.

I'm just looking for a clear answer, and dosage. Thank you!

Pour on medictions are not effective on goats. You dose by weight, and do not inject, must be given orally per my vet. Use twice the dose per weight for cows.
