So I just found this thread and wanted to offer suggestions based on my own experience.
If your goat is still pale, I would separate her from the rest of the herd permanently. If she has a persistent problem with parasites and you let her run with the rest of the goats you are risking an increased parasite load to the other animals, because the pasture is being continuously re-infested. You need to pay especially close attention to young animals as they can get hit hard, fast. I would check the herd every two weeks.
Also, check her for lice! Lice can and do cause anemia. Part her hair and you can easily see them if she is infested.
If she is still thin you should also consider tapeworm. Valbazen will kill tape, but it can not be given to pregnant animals.
I hope she is doing better.
