Hi In our country in winters we feed this crop to the goats: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trifolium_alexandrinum After feeding this crop (2.5 kg each day per doe) for only 3 days, my one doe has clumpy poop. And today the other doe also has clumpy poop but it also contains some grains which...

Hi there! My name is Cindy and I just bought two 9 week old Nigerian Dwarf goats. I am brand spankin' new to having goats, but my husband grew up on a "hobby" farm. We got these guys from a reputable breeder 45min. from us. They are both males and were banded the day we picked them up (Aug...

Another UPDATE: Gave her just electrolytes yesterday, started her back on whole cows milk today and her poop in just yellow water.... should I go ahead and give her the scour medicine? She is active when up but sleeping more than usual. Any help again thanks! Update her poops are now watery...

I was away this weekend , and my dad was taking care of my goats, including my pregnant one. I suspect he was feeding them corn instead of the feed I usually give them. I am sure that is the cause of her stringy rectal discharge, but would their be any other causes? She is eating and drinking...

Lizzy is a new Momma. Her twins were born on the 24th. All has been great. This is her poop today. What do you guys think? Son is currently doing a fecal. Her FAMACHA is a 2. (Bright Pink) She is eating, drinking, peeing and pooping all good. (Except this today) She is eating shredded alfalfa...

I had been fighting off Coccidia in one of my young bucks. Thankfully it cleared but now he has a bit of dried poop stuck on the back of his legs and tail. I was debating bringing him inside and giving him a warm bath and using a soft soap to try to get it off. Or am I better off trimming it...

My Willow is on her 3rd freshening (but I'm posting in here because I feel like a huge beginner still). She just had a little buckling on Tuesday night, and I haven't seen any poop from this little guy. No scours, no logs....mayyyybe some small goat pellets, but I have read that doesn't happen...

Hello All! I have two little bucklings I acquired from a dairy farmer Wednesday of last week. One is a Saanen (Waylon) and the other is an Alpine (Lucius). Waylon came to me with bloody, highlighter-yellow scours, but that has since cleared up since he has been on the milk replacer. I feed...

What creates log poop in bottle babies? They get whole milk 3 times a day (8 oz). They are Nigerian Dwarf goats. They have Manna Minerals free choice and baking soda free choice. Coastal hay all the time. They are in a small pasture and can browse. Only one has it.

I've read the other 27 threads on this and my Doe's situation is different. There have been no changes in her diet, she kidded twins 6 months ago. She was wormed a few moths before and also about 3 months ago. We worm entire heard of 9 about every 4 months. I separated her from the twins about...

This is a bit of a strange question. I have a couple ND babies that I'd like to use as hiking companions, and maybe to carry a bag of trail mix or something. To lead train them and build up stamina I plan to walk them around the park across the street from my house but there's one problem: the...

HI! I have this precious new kid who has a bit of a poop problem. It's a normal color but the "berries" are clumped together. When we first got him there was also an orange mucous involved but that has subsided. We got him at 15 days old, now he's 1 month and 1 day. He's a Nigerian Dwarf wether...

Our doe just kidded Sunday night and she is not keeping his little butt clean. She is feeding him, but every morning it is covered in goopy mess and stick to his bottom so no more can come out. In the past, the mothers have kept all that cleaned off. She is feeding him well and taking care of...

Hi I am new to here (and new to goats as well), and I am so happy to see so many knowledgeable goat owners who offer advice! I have a 4wk old Nubian/ weather/bottle baby- he is doing well- on Manna Kid milk- nibbling on hay/grains and pasture- active/plays and seems to be feeling well.....my...

I have a goat that is moving slow and just standing and staring like a zombie. She is friendly and always comes to me but late yesterday she stopped. Today she is doing the same but has stayed in Barn most of the day. Her poop was clumped yesterday and I just checked her she looks to be starting...

Hey all! We were given an adorable (aren't they all?!) 10 week old doeling on Sunday. Today we walked her on a leash and allowed her to nibble her way down to the creek with us. She's been nibbling on her hay (good quality) all afternoon, too. But, this evening she had one sticky clumpy poo...

I was wondering if anyone uses their goat poop and bedding as fertilizer for their gardens? If so do you put it directly in the garden and till it under, or do you have to let it compost first? Any tips on the subject would be greatly appreciated. I am going to plant in the next few weeks...

I'm just curious - I have a Nigerian Dwarf bottle baby on cows milk. Always been a bottle baby & in the house as he was a runt and neglected. About 4 weeks old now. He was pooping what I think was normal little clumpy pellets but when I upped his feeds and tried to cut back to 3x a day from...

Hello, Kerrie again! Well Loki (my 1 month old pygmy kid) STILL has scours. I have treated him with Sulmet for Cocci. 1cc per 5 lbs the first day 1 cc per 10 lbs days 2-5 for a total of 5 days. What else can I do for this? I read that I can give him pepto but how much? He is testing food like...

Hello fellow goat lovers! I have a little Pygmy kid, he is going to be 5 weeks this Friday (April 5th). Loki(that's his name) is a sweetheart and has very quickly become a part of the family. His mother, Autumn, had him in the last big snow storm we had and sadly his twin brother didn't make it...
