Coccidiosis can be prevented by adding coccidiostats, such as decoquinate (Decox) and lasalocid (Bovatec) to the goat's diet. Goat rations that contain coccidiostats are available to producers who request them. This will aid in preventing an outbreak of coccidiosis. Another approach is to treat kids at three weeks of age with Albon, and treat them again in three weeks. Afterwards, use a feed with a coccidiostat. If you have horses, do not allow them to eat feed containing coccidiostats. These products are deadly to horses.
Wish I could say these were my words but I can't I'm afraid

you probably mean coccidiosis, which is a parasitic infection causing bloody diarrhoea? if this is the case you really need a vet to prescribe you the drugs you need, which will be antibiotics and/or anticoccidials.

You need to speak to your vet to ask about a suitable anti coccidistat. I imagine you will need to give it for about 10 days.
