PS I have not had much luck with DE for parasite protection in goats - but it seems to work for our chooks. I find COWPs along with strict paddock rotation and regular poop scooping much more effective. Except for Koby when he first arrived, I haven't needed to drench any of the goats since 2013 (FECs done every 3 months on everyone). I'm all for trying natural methods as much as possible for treating my animals generally, in conjunction with modern vet treatment where necessary. I think the two go hand in hand and my vet seems open to the idea - she concurred that comfrey would be a good treatment for the fracture whereas lots of vets poo-poo natural remedies.
