12 week old goats with diarrhea

OMG Guernsey goats! How beautiful.

Hope the cocci is disappearing.

PS - I like your fence and gate.

OK, update! Goat berries are back! Gudron recovered in 3 days and it took Hildur 6 days. They both had probiotics every day, LOTS of electrolytes (I'm calling it Goaterade), and I cleaned butts many times and cleaned out the poopy straw in their house many times as well.
I am so glad things are back to normal. I'll be doing a preventative treatment in 2 weeks and hopefully that will keep further scours at bay.
Thanks for being such a supportive and helpful message board. I feel like having to deal with this really made me aware of goat details. Probably a good thing for the future.

Ponker: A local fence company installed the Redline goat fence and gate (I built the shelter and climbing structure, btu 300 feet of goat fence is where I draw the line). Gudron got her head stuck in the space between the gate and fence on day 3. She seems pretty smart, so I doubt it will happen again.

Don't bet on that, goats like to repeat things many many times.

Glad everyone is back to normal.

Glad to hear that the little ones are all back to normal. As for the goat head stuck and being smart... That was merely a test run to time your response. Have to have a baseline established from which to work when getting stuck in the future.

Complete disclosure, Gudron got her head stuck in the feeder first, and then in the gate. So yes, this seems to prove what you're saying.
