Hi i have a 5 year old doe that had her second batch of kids a while ago in an earler post i had mentioned she lost her trippletts, Ive been milking her to feed my two bottle babys fresh milk. today when i went out side she looked a litle down so I made her stand up(to check if she could) (she did stand) and she shoots out diarea(kinda like a water fall) then i noticed it doesnt look like she has milk, I milk her around this time so she should be full and it looks like shes empty. (She seams to be the only one like this.)

Could be coccidiosis in her gut tract, throws them off feed and can make them weak, if they don't eat they won't make any milk... does not always show up as bloody looking scours although that is common....
Check for temperature...
Any chance she got into something to eat she should not have?
Did she have any mastitis after she lost the triplets? I'm not a goat person, just going by what we see in cattle and sometimes in the sheep.
 
Her temp is 303.5
nope ive been milking her every day and been observing her milk color
shes been more docile In milking for 2 days so i dont think its somthing like mistitouse as she is a difficult doe to milk. she is skinner then her peres but she has gained weight since her birth as trips made her pretty skiny
 
She needs a fecal run to rule out/discern between coccidia and worms, but move fast. If the fecal is clean and neither she may need vet attention and meds for something worse.

No milk with scours means she's in distress and in bad, bad shape and needs help NOW.
 
sory to respond late today but she seams okay today yesterday was weired ive never in my years of raising goats have that isue, i cant do the fecal testing thats up to one of my family members if we do or do not. She is eating and drinking well today... she also has a full bag So idk what happned yesterday
