Check their gums and see what color they are..If they look dull and greyish I would definatly worm again before winter sets in. What State do you live in? We live in Tenn and we have had some cold spells and days that have gone up to 75, here lately, we just wormed one more time, which was the advise of our vet.
Ok "THE BOOK" says, on scouring: and I Quote:
Intenstinal worms and infections, cobalt, copper deficiencies and enteroxtemia are the most usual causes of this complaint. Other reasons can be imbalance in the feed. IN SMALL KIDS overfeeding of milk often causes mild souring. So this may just be your problem, he may be getting too much milk.
You sound exactly like my husband..He said the other day..every time we turn around this one has runny noses, diareah..just like the kids (the 2 legged kind)..Every time we think they are healthy and look great something happens..(smile)..but in the end it is all worth it..I came home from town today and pulled in the driveway and my husband was outside fixing some fencing, and the goats were roaming the yard..My Eris comes up to me..snotty nose and all and gives me a great big snotty hug..while I was still sitting in the car, mind you..which I am surprised, cause not too long ago I slammed her face in the car door...whoops (smile)
