Abstract
The control of gastrointestinal parasites in goats by the use of anthelmintics has been and continues to be problematic. Products used successfully in sheep sometimes appear to be less effective than expected when used in goats. Parasites resistant to ivermectin have been reported in goats in New Zealand but not in sheep. I write to report a case that raises issues pertaining to the relative effectiveness of different routes of anthelmintic administration in goats.
