Diarrhea in goats is a very common symptom that can attributed to many different causes ranging from a sudden change in feed, ingestion of poisonous plants, worms, or in more severe cases, a symptom of a virus or disease. Goat owners as a rule, always take into consideration the type of stool a goat produces on a daily basis. The "normal" stool are goat berries. Common diarrhea can usually be treated and cured by administering a dose or two of Pepto-Bismol followed by the use of probiotics to replenish the essential bacteria in the rumen of the goat. Persistent cases of diarrhea should be read as a warning symptom of other ailments. Obversely, a "clumped" stool should be regarded with the same concern as diarrhea. In addition to the articles below covering this subject, GoatWorld also offers an archive of all "hands on experience" messages posted regarding Diarrhea.
