Re: [AlpacaTalk] Dosing for worms and coccidia @ the same time

Hey Toni,

Sorry, I messed up my computer monitor, so wasn't online.

Last spring?was when I had the horrible coccidia problem.? And there was also giardia going around, but luckily I didn't have problems with that.

Not near as much a problem this year althought?I had two middle aged girls get skinny and be diagnosed with coccidia and worms.? The crias have been healthy, knock on wood.? I don't think I did anything different, except maybe the crias were just stronger this year.? The one that died was under 12# at birth and I had to supplement her etc etc.?

This time, the?vet had me dose with albon and corid, and safeguard for the worms.? I went ahead and gave everyone the preventative corid in the water, because this happened about the time I weaned my fall crias.

I have used Dr Jack - like him alot, but got tired of the farm call, and I suck at backing up a trailer, so take them to Tahoma now.? I like them alot also.?

Hey Heidi,

I know that you had one hell of a winter with coccidia....like I did. I almost lost one of my cria. I know that you lost one. Can you tell me your story of this winter? My pasture is on the down hill side of the farm. (I really don't have a choice to move them casue I rent the space.) Did you use Marquis...albon? What is the opinion of your vet and who are you using? Tahoma Vet or Dr. Jack.

You and I are only about 30 mins away from each other and I'd love to know what happened this winter if you are willing to share.

Thanks for sending me the conformation. Diane e-mailed me back and recommended to break up the tx. As it sits right now the worm load is greater than the coccidia.
