First time momma - sudden diarrhea

[nstone630]

Should I be concerned it a very sudden onset of very watery diarrhea for my new soon to be mom?

She had a fecal test done a couple weeks ago showing only a little bit of worms.

Tips??
She's recently been taken out of the fired and has been her own pen only getting hay as feed. would the change in food from free range to hay make this happen?

Anytime you change the feed it can cause scours. I would just keep an eye on her and make sure she is eating and drinking. If it is scours from feed it should clear up in a day or two.

Here is an herbal concoction you can make her, and it really does work.

SCOURS
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp clove
2 tsp ginger
2 tsp slippery elm (health food stores)
1 tsp garlic ( I use liquid)
2 cups of water

Bring to slow simmer on low heat while stirring.
I then place in jar and cover and allow to cool for about 20 minutes.
Give 6-12 cc's orally several times a day.

I did this concoction when my doe had the same issue. It worked really well. My doe thru a huge fit about drinking it so I had to take a tub and force her to drink it.

And this is safe when pregnant?

There are no ingredients in there that could cause any issues that I can see...

I used it on my doe when she was prego and no problems at all

It will be fine for a pregnant goat. In case you don't know, when you drench a goat aim for their left cheek pocket and not straight down their throat; less chance of aspirating the fluid that way.
