loose stool

[PETSNEGGS]

One of my females showed up today with loose stool, more pasty then watery. She is doing great other than that.
No temp.
Maybe pregnant for the first time
eating very well
Drinking
Running, playing, pushing the PB pig out of the way to get treats
Wormed about 6 months ago
Eye and gum color is pink
We have had alot of rain off and on in the past week
Getting limbs cut from the trees
Hay
Goat feed
Probably getting chicken mix since they are all in the same area.
I will watch her but, just wondering if I should worry.

Have you had rain recently?
We have a couple does that get soft when it rains.

I really only ever worry if it is actually liquid or close to liquid.

It may be time to worm her again - the season is already here down south.

First thing to consider is worms, thats usually the tell-tale sign.......

I noticed one of my maybe pregnant does had soft poo this morning too. The berries are just kind of clumped together. It has been raining here. I wormed them with Ivermectin Plus 2 weeks ago. She is a new arrival and still scared of me so she is hard to get ahold of to check for worms better. Hopefully it is just the rain.

If my goats had access to chicken mix there would be no "probably" about them eating it. They would eat every last bit of it every day.

sounds to me like time to worm.

thank you everyone, since she might be pregnant is it okay to worm her? I have Ivermectin on hand, how much should I give her and can I give it by mouth like I do with my pigs?
Yes, we have had alot of rain..

[tmfinley]

I give Ivermectin plus 1 cc for every 30lbs. I've heard some say 1 cc for every 50lbs though. Yes you can give it orally, I have heard it really burns if injected.
