Could be dietary...green tinted runs is from too much grain/graze/wet graze...
did he get into anyones feed? Introduced to new pasture?
Could be worms...dark brown to black...
have a fecal done to see if your wormer worked...check his lower inner eye lids for color..should be deep pink to red
Take his temp..shouldbe 101.5-103.5
Stop all grain...give pepto ..give cd antitoxin...offer electrolytes to keep him hydrated...here is a great recipe
Homemade Electrolytes
A half gallon of hot water
2-6 Tablespoons of Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses or what you have on hand or honey
1-2 Tablespoons of Either Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, Baking Soda or Table Salt.
1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
Mix well and drench or let them drink it.

He is weighing close to 150. I give 2 cc of ivermection im and double the dosage for safegaurd then recommended. We did just put a fence in his pen for some calves and i just spoke to my vet and she thinks its stress related. Thanks for all the help. I gave him some probios, pepto, penacillion and 200cc of gatorade hopefully he feels better in the am

Stress can cause many things and certainly the runs...but I wouldnt hang my hat on that hook alone...
Ivomec is 1 cc per 40 pounds so 2 cc was good for 80# goats..I give it Sub Q never IM which is very painful...If worms are heavy I do it 3 times 10 days a part then once more in 30 days...
could be the low wormer dose didnt do the trick and he still has a worm issue...I would have that fecal done just to be sure....
best wishes
