Hope this isn't considered a silly question, but is it possible for a goat to get fleas?

Go to http://www.goatworld.com there was a post on the forum about fleas yesterday.

We keep biospot on our dogs, so if they don't have fleas the goats are rarely bothered either. Goat Medicine says that fleas can lay eggs and cause anemia and scratching with hair loss just like on dogs. So the answer is yes, though we havn't seen this. Vicki
