Thanks guys! The baby is very sweet - a pity about her sibling though. A quick question (though I'm calling the vet in the am anyway) Mother goat had 5 days of antibiotics (Pen) for the c-section, and because we were mucking around in there trying to pull the baby first. She has developed loose stools. I have the probiotic paste, so I'm givin her that, plus a shot of D vits tonight. I read online to give pepto-bismol also. Is this very normal after anitbiotics? any other recommendations? Is calling the vet for advice overkill? To me it seems like she just needs to rebalance her gut after the antibiotics? thanks!

I would bring a sample in for the vet to run a fecal, never now what parasites have decided to take advantage of her weakened condition. Make sure you have them check for coccidiosis along with the normal parasites.

I would do the probiotics as well. You would want to be careful withthe pepto bismo, wouldn't want to go the opposite direction and make her constipated or cover up a problem she is having with parasites.
