: I need help with 2 of my 8 goats. The 2 I am concerned about are almost 4 months old. They are both nubians and its one doe and a buck. They both seem to look very thin compared to the other 3 I got with them that are the same ages. My male has started staying off mostly by himself and didn't come to eat tonight. He did have diareah last week and the vet did a fecal check and he did have worms. So we treated the entire heard at the same time. So last week they were wormed with corid for 5 days and they also got their covexin shots and dectomax injection due to some of the goats chewing their back legs. Now the stools did look better. They are not pellets yet but formed stools, more like a dog. Does anyone have any idea what may be going on for 2 of these goats to not be gaining weight? My doe has a twin sister who looks good but the one is just very boney looking, just like the buck. I will take any thoughts you may bave. I have only been doing goats for about 6 months and I can use all the help I can get. Thanks for your help!
What did you use as a wormer? Corid doesn't work as a wormer at all.
