I get some soft stool from time to time on my goats and deworm in fall and spring. I always add some probiotics to their wormer too. That usually immediately gets the stool back to the right consistency.

What kind of hay is being offered and type of grain?

 

[Birdsong 82]

This is what we do for this situation. Instructions from our Vet.
For worming: Cydecton sheep drench. Double the dose on the label for goats we were told.
For Coccid.: Liquid CORID.. 3oz Corid into 16oz water. Then drench 30cc per 100lbs of goat. 5 day course.
Electrolytes.
Nutridrench.

Can you take a pic of the stool and back half of the doe?

Should I do both? Is safe to treat if I'm not sure. Is the different types of corid

cocci.. I have a doe on the 5th day of corid right now. Also on Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) corid inhibits natural thiamine in the goats system. Cocci is attacking the thiamine also.

I would use the liquid type. You will have to read the label of your safe guard as well. I know with our cydecton it is alright to do both but we don't use safe guard (fembendazole).
You should have the stool sent to a lab. Doesn't cost that much here in our area.
