Another thing that causes scours and can quickly kill one is Coccidiousis (sp?) - You use CORID to treat this infection (oral in their water). Eating much richer grass/feed or more than usual can also cause scours. If they last more than 24 hours I would either treat with antibiotics and corid and check for parasites (And if present, treat for that,too) or call a vet to check for the cause.

What else might cause scours? Any recommendations on what to use, if it is parasites? I haven't got the botanical stuff, yet. She didn't get this loose till today. I thought it was just something she ate (causing softer BMs), but it's runny today. The other 5 are still pelleting. I'm thinking parasites on account of all the rain in the past week and a half.
