went and got the fecal done and its officially coccidiosis. restarting treatment along with electrolytes via baby bottle and probios. any other suggestions? i've been cleaning up the goats to get the poo off twice a day and cleaning the pin twice a day also
good point id rather not stress him anymore. i found a vet within 20 minutes from us that will do the fecal testing so i'm going by today. thanks for the advice! I've been cleaning them and the pin twice a day to prevent any additional issues popping up. maybe I just freaked myself out since...
thank you! so when you say the cocci poo smells different what do you mean? that could help me some too. i have another smallish pin i can put my sickly baby in tonight to watch him solely. i'm going to call the vet today and see if he will run a fecal test for me. the kid is still active...
part of me is beginning to question that maybe it could just be scours from possibly dewy grass or something of that nature? today is day four of the corid treatment, which is what i used a few weeks ago on my other baby and he was beginning to solid up his poo by now but this little guy is not...

So we are working on setting up our gate for the pasture/play area for the kids and we are leaning towards a double light weight metal farm gate. we are going to install the hinges for one into a tree that is perfectly straight and will work but the other side will be up against a shed so i was...
Hello!
So I just recently brought 2 new goats kids home to be companions with my current kid. I've noticed strange behavior coming from one of the new kids I call Moose, hes constantly headbutting the older kid Fred's side. I've noticed a few times a day so far, I watch them alot. Is this...
Okay thanks y'all! and I'm definitely not disbudding my baby I don't personally care for that. So im probably going to take some brushes and make him a little scratching post in his pen for him to rub against and i plan on just giving him scratches for now and easing him out of having so much...
