Coccidiosis treatment for pregnant goat?

[Southern by choice]

It can be a symptom. Not always.

If she had coccidiosis as a kid - there is a difference between havnig coccidia and coccidiosis- then she may have permanent damage and may not ever be able to fully absorb nutrients, thus remain thin. Other goats can fall in the category - failure to thrive- with no known reason.

Worms are never a one time thing.

Thank you all so much! I will probably send in fecal sample.

SBC, I hope it isn't something really serious like that, although it seems likely. We would be better off butchering her.
She has an overly healthy appetite and is coming close to eating us out of house and home (figuratively speaking, of course).

Can you post a picture of her?

I agree with @OneFineAcre - pictures are helpful.

Some goats mature slowly and there is nothing wrong.
It is good she has a healthy appetite.
Sometimes people think their goats are thin when they really aren't.

I just took some pictures of her and I will upload them soon.

Here are the pictures. She has a thick coat which makes it hard to see. She feels pretty bony, there is no fat around her backbone/hips.

I'm interested to hear if she is skinny or not. I had an alpine that looked like that her first 2 years. She's since filled out.

Would you happen to have pictures of her? I really hope that that is the case with my girl. She is about 21 months old right now.

If she were a hard working doe making alot of milk then you might say "understandable" but you are right she is too thin. She is also very small.
What breed is she?

...also is your herd tested, has she been tested for CAE. Johnes, CL?
