Thanks to all who are being so helpful!! I took a sample to the vets office and they said that the goat did have coccidia(sp) and I started on corrid and keopectate. the one goat straightened up but now we are treating the other one just the same. someone said if I didn't have it in my ground that I do now and that I will have it for 7 years. Is this true and is there anything I can do to get rid of it?? I was also told to use lime on the ground and it should help. Does anyone know if I need to move the goats while the lime is down, will it hurt them or not?? I hate to think that I have this for 7 years and nothing to do for it. I have been wanting to start raising goats for my children so we have what we want to take to the fair every year, but now I'm wondering if I want to start. I pretty much have my heart set on raising them but what should I do??? all advise will be taken and very much appreciated!!!!! Denise Thompson
