travelling question

[hardworkingwoman]

I have a friend that is getting a young goat and she will be traveling with it. She is going to enter it into a college project and it requires going into a parade. They are worried that it is going to get diarreha from the stress of traveling. I told her that when I travel with mine they just lay down and are fine when I get to where I am going. What would you suggest she get for that if she runs into a problem like this?

Thanks so much!!
She is taking probiotics with her for it.

I wouldn't do anything until I see symptoms.

When I first started seriously getting into goats, it was drilled into my head all the fears of shipping stress. With all the movement I've had, plus switching pens ect etc, I"ve never had one case of shipping stress-even shipping from climate to climate, and after the first year I stopped all the recommended preventatives.

Just watch for off symptoms & treat early if they show. IF the goat is healthy it will be fine -your friend being there will comfort it.

My goats travel 700 miles in the spring and fall. No diarrhea.
