Pale manure in 3 month old kid

[Ariel301]

I noticed one of my kids has some funny looking manure today. It's alternating between normal pellets and really soft, first one, then a few minutes later the other is coming out. It's a weird color, sort of a very pale yellowish green.

He was treated with Di-Methox drench a couple of weeks ago as a routine cocci prevention, and about four days ago I found some lice hiding in his thick hair when I trimmed him down for the summer, so I treated him with ivermectin and they're gone now. He was a little thin, so yesterday I started him on some grain, I gave him about a quarter of a cup. He's eating fine today, temperature is normal, and his eyelids are nice and pink. I would expect him to have a little bit of diarrhea with the diet change, but I've never seen it pale colored like this. Any idea what could be making it a weird color?

Well, now he's going downhill. He's straining like he is going to poop, but nothing comes out. He's hunched up standing in a corner with his eyes closed, looking absolutely miserable. I'm not sure what's going on, so I'm going to give him some baking soda, vitamin B, and probiotics.

i would give an enema (or 4) along with that, and start right away on Dimethox.

Another round of Di-Methox? He was just treated for five days about two weeks ago, but I can go ahead and hit him with it again.
