3 month old Nubian with the runs

He's got a little bit of the runs. He still came up running to me and wagging his tail. He was eating grass when I left. What do I give him?

Is he on cocci prevention? He's prime age for cocci, so I'd get him on treatment ASAP.

Dimethox or Marquise for Coccidia once there is a problem the others are just preventatives but not strong enough to eliminate the issue. Ideally you need to get a fecal done because hes also prime age to have issues with worms. Thats not I ate to much poop

He had never been wormed. I just wormed him when I got him last week. I'm picking up the di methox

I just treated with Toltrazuril. I forgot I had it. It's supposed to be a one time treatment for Goats.

Does he need Pepto Bismol?

How about sav a chick electrolytes?

I'm trying to think of things I either already have or can easily get my hands on without waiting on the mail.

Jeffers has overnight shipping option. You can give him pepto but its just going to stop what his body is trying to get rid of. Anyone near you have dairy cattle or dog kennels? Alpacas? Marquies you will need to get from an equine vet as its a horse medicine so if you have a local clinic that is probably your best option and take a fecal sample in while you are there. You only need about 3ccs for him.

What you gave him is good. Yes, you can give him a small dose of Pepto. He should be better tomorrow.

I talked to the vet. She wasn't concerned when she saw the pictures of his poop. She said take him off the grain.
