I can tell ya that goats can be pretty good at hiding illness and then go fast. They may look a little down tonight and by morning they are gone.

The first thing that comes to mind for a goat with diarrhea is worms and then possibly cocci. I don't know what people are using for wormer but let me tell what I found to be by far the easiest and most effective. Ivermectin injectable for cattle GIVEN ORALLY 1.5 cc per 110#. Since we had pygmy and very few were over 110 I just dosed them all for 110. You can't hardly overdose them. And this helps with lice too.

I use Ivermectin for goats but I mainly use molly's herbal wormer. I am going to use molly's herbal wormer for my chickens at the first of the year.

Okly Dokly ! Wow ! Where di you read this ??
And which brand of Band Aides ? There are many besides the real Band aides...I use Band Aides and have not had an issue.
Spreading wheat straw in coops makes me itch bad....I was told to avoid lotions and shampoos with wheat germ oil...and to watch Ham, Soy sauce, fake crab, and ""modified food starch"" unless it specifically says corn.
But OK, I will watch the band aides. Just where is the gluten on the band aide ?
