Diarrhea in adults is most often caused by a heavy load of worms. Wet warm weather promotes worm infestation (it is truly that time of year), diarrhea can be a fairly early sign. Look at her lower inner eyelids. They should be BRIGHT rosy or salmon pink. If they are pale pink or white she is also anemic. I recommend deworming with Ivermectin Injectable for Cattle given orally at 1 cc per 25 pounds. Be absolutely sure to give enough, it has a very wide margin of safety. Do this once a day for 3 days and repeat in 2 weeks. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

Hi, I have a one year old milking doe who is acting normal except for she a really bad diarrhea. She is eating the same amount of grain/hay/grass and none of her feeds has changed. It has been very hot the last few days but that is the only thing that has changed. What do I do? I cant find anything on adult goats getting diarrhea. Thanks Jenny |
