yearling wether pudding poop

[BarefootGoat]

I found some pudding consistency poop around the goat stall, and my wether Connor (just turned a year last month) has some mess on his tail. how should I treat this? last year i had a doeling who had watery mustard (why do i have to relate the consistency and color of feces to FOOD STUFFS?!?!) poops and the vet said nothing was wrong. how should I deal with this? he's been eating fine, but he got out lastnight and he may have eaten more food than i think. thanks

I would wait a day or two, if it clears up great, if not have a fecal run. Tapeworms can cause dog logs and can get a bit mushy after that. Over eating of grains etc can cause it too.

If you're concerned you can have your vet run a fecal analysis. Make sure that they run for coccidia too.

You can give some unflavored gelatin in water as a drench to help firm up the poop in the mean time, if this works all on it's own it's likely a dietary thing.

thanks guys, it seems to have cleared up, his tail was less messy and I didn't find any new poops that were bad, I think it was overeating
