The best greens for poopy butt are the lawn weeds plantain (Plantago major or Plantago lanceolate) and shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris). Also the leaves of blackberry, raspberry and strawberry are great as well. I would give these plus kitchen oatmeal and grass hay until it clears up and then reintroduce the alfalfa hay slowly.

oh good...I have TONSof plantain....Ive been giving them to my nursing doe lol...darn, Ive also beenfeeding TONS of dandelion and that seemed to help....I was at my cousins house and the next door house is for sale and empty....they had dandelion on steriods, HUGE succulent plants, I got a garbage bag full lol...they all ate well for a few days

In that case, I'd say lots of plantain and blackberry leaves plus the kitchen oatmeal and grass hay. It will likely clear up in a day or two. Dandelions are an excellent green feed, but they are slightly laxative so I would not give them to her at present. It is possible that the large amounts of greens you gathered from that house next door to your cousin's place contributed to the doe's problem - simple overindulgence.

You can also try giving her a bit of plain canned pumpkin- or if you have any type of winter squash, you could give that instead.

I don't know if it is as effective raw as steamed, but you could test it out for us!

HMMM canned pumpkin, I thought that was supposed to induce diarrhea , I remember our vet had me give it to the dog, so she would get the runs to pass bones she ate,,,???
