The most common reason diarrhea in goats is parasites. Without knowing where you reside, it's difficult to know what's endemic to your area. A general purpose dewormer for goats is oral pyrantal pamoate at 25mg/kg. Deworming should be performed every six months.

While some may recommend using a cork, I would suggest using any number of over the counter anti-diarrheals available at any pharmacy.

If the goat has soft stools, let it run it;s course. If the stools are runny, it is a more serious issue. Diarrhea in goats can occur from such things as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or poor management practices, such as poor sanitation and over feeding.
