I came home from school yesterday (I live an hour away and my parents look after my goays until the weekends) and found that my bottle babe has really bad diarrhea. She's also been lethargic and seems pretty week. She's always been pretty skinny, but when feeling her sides for possible bloat, I could feel absolutely every bone in my poor baby's body. I don't know what to think. I've felt her sides and they're not hard or airy, and she doesn't look bloated at all, but I also didn't hear any noise coming from her rumen, and she hasn't burped or chewed any cud that I've noticed.
Please help, I'm absolutely in love with this goat and would do anything to make her better

My thermometer broke and I haven't bought a new one yet so I'm not sure about her temp, but she's 3 years old now

CD&T antitoxin immediately. Electrolytes are a must. Vitamin B complex, and give Bo-Se. Feel under her armpits. Feel hot or cold? How old? What breed? How much and how often does she get fed?

She feels hot under her armpits (normal when compared to my other goats) she's 3 years old, and Pygmy/Nigerian dwarf. They get fed alfalfa-Timothy hay once a day, ad they're put on pasture all day. They also each get a handful of grain once a day. She has been up, and she came to eat hay when I gave it to them, and she sill follows me along the fence when I go to leave the pasture to go inside, and she still talks to me as I'm going.

When I say bottle babe I mean she's the goat I bottle raised, but she's mature now.

You really need to have a fecal done to include coccidia. How long has she had the diarrhea?

I'll get the fecal done ASAP, and I just noticed the diarrhea yesterday when I came home, my parents said she's been having normal poops all week.

Hello everyone, sorry for the late reply, i just got home from work. I haven't been able to get a fecal yet as I had to go to work, and after following her around with a Baggie to catch any poop she had for what seemed like ages, she still hadn't pooped. I sent my mom the link to this post for my mom to reference while I was working so she's been cared for at least. My mom said she was eating, and seemed a bit more energetic than before, although she still doesn't seem herself. I appreciate all your help so much, and I'll keep you guys informed.
