Diarrhea in adult goats (a year or over) is usually worms, diarrhea in young goats over 6 weeks could be worms or coccidia. For worms I suggest using Ivermectin Injectable for Cattle, give 1 cc per 25 pounds but give it orally. Give for 2 days and repeat in 2 weeks. For coccidia use a sulfa drug. Most feedstores carry Sulmet, Dimethox or Albon 12.5% drinking water solutions. They are labeled for cattle and poultry. Do not add it to the water, use it undiluted straight from the bottle. Give 1 cc per 5 pounds for 5 days (you must treat for all 5 days). Both of these drugs are very safe be absolutely sure you give enough, overdose rather than underdose. It is safe to use both at the same time.
