Sick Goat..
|
|
|
I have male boer goat he is approx 4-6 months old, and since yesterday has come down with a bad case of diarea. He isn't screaming or doesn't seem to be in any pain, and is not vomiting. He also seems to want to eat and drink..He is walking and running around and not laying around acting sick or anything, but I am concerned. We have a great pyrnease (spelling??) in with the goats and have recently changed his dog food, Nicholas (our boer kid) will usually eat the dog food with the dog, and I am wondering if maybe it is the dog food that is causing this. We give the dog dry dog food not canned. Either that or maybe a tree or plant he is not used to eating. We had all of our kids in a pen w/the dog and just put the goats and dog in with our older goats (the dog is also a puppy) ...even though we would let the kids out a few times during the day and they would eat the grass etc in our yard, they have more access to the woods now that they are with the other goats..so maybe he is eating something he is not used to?
I want to make sure there is nothing I am not doing that I should be doing (did that make any sense LOL)..I don't want him to become deyhdrated. The goats always have plenty of water, and we give them feed as well..Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
