Here's why:
* Different metabolic rates: Sheep and goats process medications differently. A wormer that's safe and effective for sheep might be too strong or not effective enough for goats.
* Different susceptibility to parasites: Sheep and goats are susceptible to different types of parasites. A wormer that targets a specific parasite in sheep might not be effective against the parasites that commonly infect goats.
* Drug interactions: Some wormers can interact with other medications a sheep or goat might be taking, potentially leading to health problems.
It's crucial to consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate wormer for your sheep or goats. They can help identify the specific parasites your animals are likely to have and prescribe a safe and effective treatment.
Never self-medicate your animals. Using the wrong wormer can lead to serious health complications, including death.
