Can sheep get coccidia like goats
« on: August 19, 2005, 12:39:36 AM »
Okay I am so confused and worried and tired.  I have lost 2 goats now and just found one of my sheep dead.  The ram lamb showed no signs of being sick, but went out to feed tonight and hubby found him.  I lost my baby doeling and then this morning I found another doe that I knew was sick yesterday.  I am sure both the does had coccidia.  I know for sure on one.  My question is can the sheep get it as well?  I wormed everyone yesterday as soon as the vet told me the wormer I had used was not effective for goats and sheep.  I wormed everyone 1cc per 100lbs of Ivomec for cattle.  I noticed this evening some with diarrhea now.  Lord please help me.  The ones with diarrhea are my 2 angora goats and several of the sheep.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.' - Theodore Roosevelt 1907
