Reece our billy is not doing well

Hi all,

When our weather finally broke we brought Reece out to fresh pasture. A few days later he had diareha (sp). I thought it was because of him eating so much fresh grass etc. Well it's not going away. He seems to be looking skinnier.

I am going to worm him today, I have him back on hay for now, but is there something to give to stop the runny poo? Is he having it because of the fresh grass or is this worm related?

Just looking for ideas so I can get him on the mend asap.

Thanks all
Blessings
Tamar

You could give him some pepto bismol (Not Imodium AD). Just be sure that you've cured the problem and not just masked it.

I would also give him some probiotics or yogurt too.
