Fenbendazole is the only dewormer approved by FDA for goats, but NOT for lactating milk goats. All other dewormers for goats must be prescribed by a private licensed veterinarian under a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship. There is not FDA approval of milk discard time of any dewormer for use in lactating milk goats. The veterinarian must prescribe an extended time to ensure the milk is free of drug residue since there is no published discard time for milk of dairy goats.
