Help with my milking doe, her poop....

[TSYORK]

I have a milking doe that when he defecates, it is not pellets, but more like a dog fecal. Any ideas on this? She has good browse, good hay, minerals, alfalfa pellets, and daily grain.

Should I worm her? Is parasites causing this?

A fecal would tell you if & what kind of worms she may have if that's the problem, but if you can't get one done I would worm her.

It also may be caused from all the fresh browse as well, maybe she got into something a little different over the last couple days growing in their feild.

She's been pooping like this since I got her, so i know it's nothing new in the browse category. I thought it my fix itself once she got settled in at my place, but it hasn't yet, so I think I need to take measures.

I have Cydectin, will that work. is it 1ml per 22 lbs?

Goat poop can tell you a lot. If she is pooping individual berries that are hard she is not getting enough protein, Ok for a dry unbred doe or buck. If the poop has the consistency of dog poop with no recognizable berries she is getting way to much protein, cut back on the grain.
You want the berries to stick together but still be individual berries.

My doe pooped like that after she kidded. It lasted only a few days. I was wondering the same thing.....

mine wound up having tape worms after doing this, I dewormed and dewormed using several things before taking my own advice and getting a fecal.
