Our first sick baby goat

A few days ago we were out with Oakley and I noticed she had less than warm ears. I would'nt say cold, but not warm. So I decided to bump up her feedings and feed her alone twice a day. She's the smallest, she just weaned, maybe the other goats aren't letting her eat? Then I watched her poop. Man, I talk about poop a lot! Lol! Her poop was hard.
The next day, her ears were still not warm and sure enough, she had the runs! Of course this was on Sunday! So I messaged my goat peeps.  Immediately my goat peeps suggested I drive 1.5 hours to pick up Dimethox/sulfamed. They said she most likely has Coccidia. After 5 days on meds and probiotics, I'm thrilled to say she seems to feeling much better! I have to get better at worming.  We use an all natural wormer, but with this humidity, I think we need something stronger, dang it.
