I would call the vet and ask.

Hopefully, since the vet already saw him, you can get some advice over the phone.

How old is he? And what is he eating?

If he is looking anemic, you might need to get some iron in him. I would use a paste. Usually it is called "pig paste with oral iron"

Bummer on the vet .. but yes, everyone is short staffed now.

Orchard grass should be perfect feed for him... something is clearly wrong if he is still having dirrahea.

Maybe he needs a second round to get rid of the coccidia?

Did the vet get back with you?

How is your goat?
Yesss He did yesterday afternoon and he said that the coccidia probably came back so he gave me more albon to treat and recommend me red cell for Anemic and so far he’s eating and walking around in his pin
