Never the same one twice :o)
“Wormers [anthelmintics] should be changed annually. Prolonged use of one wormer increases the production of resistant worms to that particular wormer. Too frequent changing of wormers can result in multiple resistance developing.

Examples
Benzamidazoles and probenzamidazoles
[“white” wormers] Panacur, Valbazan
Levamisole and related drugs
[“yellow” wormers] Nilverm
Avermectins Oramec ”
you can use safeguard.. when they are in milk.. however.. if you live in a worm heavy area.. i would worm 1x with something like valbazen.. and throw out the milk for 10 days.. then you can drink it again. thats what i do
Stop stealing the goat’s milk.
