We have one goat (about 1 week old) who has been having pretty awful diarrhea. It is very light brown in color. He has had a bit of blood in his feces, but it is very little. In addition to that, he has been sneezing and coughing quite frequently with white mucus from his nose. Could this be coccidiosis? If so, what are the best methods to treat him?
I have been using powder goat milk? Would it be better to change into goat or cow milk from grocery stores or is that not necessary?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to take him to the vet? Young goats are very susceptible to death

Vets are a bit too expensive. We are planning on giving him a mail- in fecal test, though. Do you have any home remedies or products that you would recommend? I’ve heard that scour halt helps, but am not sure if he has ecoli in the first place.
