dOE WITH BAD POOP

[fancifran]

My doe that had triplets has brown pudding poop, is this normal after birth? or do I need to give her something, her water is treated with terramyacin, due to the clamydia scare, which wasn't clamydia, Shes been wormed with Safeguard,

Maybe some probiotics to help her stomach get back on track from the treatments.


Coccidiosis could be a possibility on a doe that just kidded,


worms can still be a possibility, how much wormer did you give her, just one time or 2 or 3 days in a row?

Are you sure Safeguard is effective in your area? In my area it's not used to treat anything but tapes and tapeworms are not a concern in terms of periparturient rise.

...and periparturient rise isn't really a concern when it comes to having the poops, since barberpoles -- a stomach worm, not a gut worm -- rarely cause diarrhea.

Any dietary changes since she's kidded? Getting more feed, by any chance?

ETA -- Also, is she acting more or less normally, or is she depressed/off feed/etc.. Is she running a fever?

I have her on hay, and I gave her a little grain, but other than that she is acting normal.

Safeguard is used by almost everyone here, either that or ivomec.

For the most part Safeguard is not effective in most of the world. I would encourage you to run fecals, worm with it and then test again.

Is safeguard okay to use for coccidia???

No you need to use a "Sulfa" drug for cocci. You can use it in conjunction with a "sulfa", but not alone.
