I am in Athens Ga. Right now I have a 4m pygmy doe. In the spring some lamanchas as well as pygmy. They get cd&t and wormed. Be careful about buying from sales/auctions as it is disease/illness ridden. Some things. People can get,some aren't curable and so on. Mini Madness Farm on fb
Gas x is good for bloat as well or mylacon baby gas drops. Sounds like it could be a bad case of cocci as well and liquid sulmet is great I would use 20cc 1st day and 10cc for the nest 4 days it works better than corrid and albon~liquid form is labled foor poultry.
Also,probiotic paste at trac supply daily will help gi tract enormously. Give a little 1x day keep the rest in the fridge. Goat drench is good for energy and some vitamins has directions. Fort b comp shots daily as well. As the prior person said get the right antibiotics. Have you given cd&t yet...
Some cocci like lice and such can cross species~it is ok if chickens are just passing thru but you don't want them housed together and such because it does cause health issues. I have chickens/turkey and they are in the pasture on occasion it is good bug control but they aren't in close...
Stupid phone! 4h dept that has a goat club and ask the person in charge there. People who don't do extensive research on any animals is just plain irrisponsible!! Like eating table scraps and branches and so on if someone came up to me and said this I wouldn't sell them a goat until they did...
Pygmy Do Not have a hard time kidding and are great moms! You just have to watch how you breed them and nigerians as well. Genetics can play into it back 2 'great grandparents' on both sides. This is what people don't understand! Wethers do make better pets I do have 2 agree. Pygmy are easy...
I disagree with SteelMagnolia my pygmy goats are awesome moms! Not to say occasionally that there is 1 in the bunch but overall great. As far as quads pygmy can have 1-4 kids but usually 2 is normal it just depends on the genetics as well. You can milk pygmy they actually have great quality milk...
I have raised pygmy goats for 16yr. Dead lvs and such are fine-no table scraps they are not pigs and despite rumor they don't eat anything. Chickens can cause them to have coccidiouses as well. They need shelter and occ worming and I give mine cd&t(:vaccine) and hoof trim every2 or 3 months...

You could go to tractor supply and get dog/pup safeguard in packets. Comes with 3 packets give 1 each day for 3 days. I would change to a grain free food as well. 4health is good at trac supply and pure balance at Walmart. If any feed allergies it can take up to 12wks to notice improvement. Try...
