Soft stools after kidding

[JerTheVintner]

My little FF ND doe has had soft stools since she kidded 3 days ago. She had a rough delivery as the big buckling got stuck and had to be pulled. She is eating fine and is being a great mother, but I am wondering if this soft stool thing is a result of giving birth, or the Ivermectin plus I gave her to deal with worms after kidding. Would Probiotics help?

You can run a fecal to see if worms or possibly coccidia are an issue.

With fresh does, the extra grain given to produce milk, typically given at a much higher rate than before kidding, can cause softer stools as well.

The grain is probably what is doing it. She looked so thin after kidding (it may have been birthing that huge boy), that I have been giving her way more grain, probably a cup and a half twice a day.

When my doe had her babys she had twins smae thing happened. She had been off grass for 2 weeks and it mested with her system. It lasted for about 1 week. Congrats on the new little one.
