diarrhea

[WilsonAcres]

My silky/barred cross has diarrhea! It started out yesterday looking {according to the poop chart} like she just got a little hot, but today the poor thing {I know this sounds gross} but it now looks like a melted hershey bar and it STINKS! she acts completely fine otherwise. She's eating drinking getting in to everything like a toddler she just has this diarrhea and it doesn't look like anything on the poop chart. I've got her separated and have given her electrolytes in her water is there anything else I need to look for or do for her? she'll be a year old in march. Thanks in advance for any advice or help

Do you have any Apple Cider Vinegar? You could put some in her water. Priobotic plain yoghurt would also settle her insides. Im sure somebody on here will help you. Big

The melted hershey bar look and terrible smell is cecal poop. It is normal to be deposited about every 8-10 droppings. If watery diarrhea is occuring, stop the electrolytes in the water and just provide her regular freshwater til it clears up. Then add 1-2 tablespoons of ACV to each gallon of water as Tracy mentioned. Dont give her anything else...just her normal feed to eat. Alot of additives cause diarrhea, when all they need is regular feed and plain water.
