"Hi Emma!
I know lumps and bumps are very scary. I personally don't think that any of these are related, and I will explain why =)

Hey everyone! Over the past 5 months I’ve discovered a few lumps and bumps on my goats and I need some help figuring out what they could be. I have 4 different goats that I’ll tell y’all about. First off is Alice. She is a 6 year old ND who…
"When I say you should strain the sample, I'm talking about something like a milk filter or coffee filter so that there is no debris on the slide. The only thing you should see is eggs, which makes it much easier to count the eggs.

"I was actually already planning on getting the McMaster slide! I may even ask the vet for advice on doing fecals when he comes"
"Oh-okay- so basically that just tells you if there are any worms at all present. It does not give you any measurable or quantitative information that can be used for tracking or dewormer effectiveness.

"I did strain the sample before viewing. I know goats will always have worms, my goat's body condition is showing she is struggling with worms. I used a 28mL flotation to 2Gms feces ratio, I then floated it onto a cover slip. I went up and down the…"
"I did use a 28mL to 2 Gm ratio. I then floated it onto a cover slip and went up and down the slide to count the number of eggs. I just wanted to get a rough number of worm eggs. I know she won't be completely worm free, but her body condition is…"
"Hi Emma
I do see strongyle eggs but that does not mean they are specifically Barber Pole eggs. There are actually several different goat worm eggs that look the same under the microscope. The only way to tell them apart is to send a fecal sample…"

"There is so much debris and so many bubbles in these photos that they're not really helpful. You need to filter the sample before doing the flotation.
I don't recall if this has been discussed, but you are not going to get a sample with 0 eggs…"

"Good afternoon! I recently acquired everything to perform my own fecals. I did one today on Alice. I spotted 7 cocci and roughly 40 eggs that I think are Barberpole. Alice has been in a dry lot for a month and was wormed with Valbazen. I will get a…"
"Thank you so much for all your help! I'll definitely switch up their diet and hopefully get some fecals done. Thanks again for your time and advice, it's really appreciated!❤"
