Diarrhea HELP!

A 9 week old buckling had terrible scours this morning. Liquid all over his bum and it kept coming out.

I quickly gave him pepto bismal and 2 ml of toltrazuril 5% Baycox. He started to act better after a while and foraged a bit, but did not eat his grain. I have been giving him Gatorade and Bounce Back electrolytes since this morning, all of which he drank from a bottle. I also gave him Electrolyte paste.

No bowel movements since that mornings liquid diarrhea episode.

3 hours ago, he began to act off. He then had a dog poo tube with some liquid feces. This was followed by some more liquid feces, along with one peppercorn feces in the liquid poo. I have him some more electrolyte paste, 1ml of pepto bismal, and a bit of goat milk replacer mixed in with some Gatorade and goat electrolytes.

I researched the coccidia toltrazuril dosage and realized it is 1ml per lb. My goat is 10lb. I already gave him 2ml in the AM and gave him 1.5ml more to complete his dosage.

What else can I do?

How long will it be until the diarrhea stops?

Do I need to give him 3 days of toltrazuril treatments?

Am I doing everything I can?

Please helpppppo!!!

It sounds like you are covering your bases.

It does sound as if you have the diarrhea way slowed down... right?

I would keep on with the electrolytes and goat milk replacer. Maybe see if you can tempt him to eat some grain or oats. Maybe soak the grain/oats with milk.

Do you have any multi vitamin B paste? That can help with appetite.

Also, probiotics can help him get his gut working better.

Maybe he ate too much feed and upset his stomach because he wasn't used to it? My lambs would eat too much and then go off feed for a few days when they were little

I really hope I am doing all I can!

I don’t have B paste but I have Kid Paste

How long does it take for diarrhea to go away? Should I continue to give pepto bismal?

He ate some grain this morning and milk, and has had really little diarrhea. More like 3 drips than full on diarrhea

He has been foraging and took 6oz of milk replacer

Do I need redose with toltrazuril for a few days? He got 3.5ml (he is 10lb) yesterday.

Not sure on re-dosing etc.
