I had the same problem when I first got into goats. I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally took her to the vet and found out that she had a very low tolerance for worms. After deworming over and over nothing helped and I finally sold her.
So first things first you need to do a fecal test on her. Take a good fecal sample in a bag to a vet. They’ll run a fecal test to test for Barberpole worms and coccidia. You could also ship a sample to Meadow Mist labs if you can’t find a vet to do it. But most will.
Next, I want to clarify that when you say “straw” you actually mean hay. Straw and hay are totally different as straw is used for bedding and has no nutritional value. Hay is what animals eat.
You have done a great job with her!! So don’t be discouraged. This kind of thing happens to everyone eventually. And welcome to TGS!! You found a good place.
