Depression in a month old goat

[Southern by choice]

Again... you run fecals... you don't just deworm.
If you don't know what kind of parasite will it be effective? Maybe maybe not.
What if there are no worm parasites and it's cocci?
Cocci is a kid killer. They are not worms. Dewormers do nothing for cocci, that takes something altogether different.

I go back to these breeders you are getting your goats from. They should be explaining these things to you. Responsible breeders CARE about their kids, care about what happens to them when they leave.

They are goats so no calf feed. Medicated goat pellets are probably ok... what brand? 3/4 cup may be too much depending on their weight.
Hay should be available 24/7.
How old are the new kids? The you have already- is he 1 month old or two months old? If one month is he still on a bottle?

What kind of mineral block? Loose minerals are best (Manna Pro is a good one)
Water 24/7

Before putting out on pasture... have they had their CD & T vaccines? When?

Just saw your new post... I am confused... who gave you what med?
I thought vet gave you dewormer... who gave cocci med?
What is name of meds given to you?

1 1/2- 2 months old... this makes me very nervous. There is a big difference as to when an animal gets weaned... as well as when they get a CD & T vaccine.

How old are they? At only a month they should still be in milk replacer.

I personally would be worried about cocci. It's fast acting and lethal.

Well there at least 2 months old and the breeder that I got them from treated them for cocci. But said they needed to be treated again so gave me some stuff that his Vet said to give and they are all on it now

You are not understanding thanks for the advise I don't know what else to say but am confused you never know WHO to listen too.

Online forums will give lots of differing opinions and it can be hard to know what to do. Sometimes with different threads and going back and forth with those threads it can be confusing for those trying to help as well. First goats. new goats... all kind of jumbled in and I am trying to look at two individual situations to be the best help.

I wish you the best of luck and hope everything works out for you.
I certainly would not want to cause any more confusion.
