[AlpacaTalk] Re: Wild Cherry
Hi Janice,
PLEASE don't just treat willy-nilly for parasites. There are so many
differnet kinds and they all need different treatment. Using too
little of a drug will only create drug-resistant parasites and then
you'll be up a creek. I know things in life can often interfere, but
I STRONGLY recommend doing everything in your power to get fecal
samples to OSU ASAP. Ideally a seperate sample for each, but at the
worst a collective sample. Once you know what you have, you will be
able to treat it quickly and succesfully.
Best of luck,
