Bottle fed baby nubian has diarrhea

[kelseytyler1]

Hey y'all! My bottle fed baby goat has diarrhea. She'll still eat about 8 ounces per feeding (4 times a day). I went to the ifa and they gave me some animal pepto to give to her. She still eats just fine but I'm just wondering why she got it all of a sudden. Thanks!

What are you feeding her? If it is replacer, switch to milk. Plain old cow milk from the store will do. Some kids do fine on replacer, but others can't tolerate it. What is her temperature? If she has a fever she may be coming down with pneumonia and will need antibiotics.

I have no goats or experience with them although I want goats now's not the time.

That said I have a friend that a couple years ago lost a bottle baby goat she had that got coccidiosis.

How old is she? What kind of milk are you using? Where is she stay, meaning stays inside all the time or can go out when she wants to?
