chickenpatty Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Charlotte, our 3 month old pygmy, has diarrhea. What do I do? Is there something I can get for her without having to take her to the vet? Help?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret in GA Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 First, a disclaimer: my dh is the goat person in the family. I do know that he's learned a lot from the "coffe shop" at http://goatweb.mail.everyone.net/email/scripts/loginuser.pl Also, in my (limited) experience any bowel problems are related to 1.) eating something they shouldn't be (maybe funky weeds or green, green grass?) 2.) worms If it's worms, de-worm them right away. I'm sure the goat web thing can help you figure out if that is the problem-- looking at their gums or eyelids for instance. Good luck and hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in here, Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlcmom Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 with my daughters 9 week old Nigerian Dwarf goat. We think it was from too much grain. Her 4H leader who is also a vet tech said to feed it a tsp of unflavored gelatin. Also, make sure that the goat isn't eating anything different.
