Hi!
I know this has been discussed A LOT, but I can't find quite the info I need...
I have a 9 month old nubian/boer/nigerian mix named Sunshine who is moved around my 3 acre property for brushing. This morning, I let them out of the yoat house (they are locked in at night for safety), and I saw that she had pudding-texture poop - not particularly stinky. Just messy.
I watched her for a bit. She is eating and drinking and playing, but she sometimes drops her tail, so I know she's not feeling 100%.
Couldn't get her temp by myself. Her eyelids are nice and red. Did a quick fecal, but the egg count is acceptable, and I didn't see much in the way of cocci. I called the vet, but she can't see my Sunshine until Monday. Why do these things always happen on a Friday?
So I went to work. Came home about an hour ago. Goatie seems fine. I saw her poop. It's clumpy - no more pudding. Does that mean she's improving? Was it maybe something she ate?
I still plan on having the vet come out Monday. What should I look for that would constitute an emergency vet call?
Thanks!
