My 3 week old baby goat ate chicken mash feed and got diarrhea. It was like water but now is more like dog poop. He is eating and drinking water. Does this mean he is out of danger of passing away?

Hello. How long ago did the goat get into the feed? If it has been a couple of days & he is improving, then he should be fine. Just make sure you lock up the feed where it cannot be reached again. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
