Hi guys thanks for the replies and sorry I'm just getting back on here. I spent the morning at my friends house helping her and getting supplies for "Spice". She's not so unsteady today and isn't dehydrated. I didn't actually take a temp but she feels good on that. Her temp has been normal so far. Mostly today she wants to sleep but at least when she picks her head up to look at you its still now not waving back and forth. Yesterday it was.
On the fendbendazole she got 3x the label rate ( 2 cc) for 3 days a week ago. Her brother started with alittle diarhea this morning ( tsk.....sigh!!) so they are getting a different med this time my friend sent home for them, its a sulfa drug and some more thiamine inj. for them.
With her brother it could be I gave them a sweetgum branch the other day thats causing the diarhea. I cut some branches that were drooping down in the way. I haven't done a fecal on him. Spice's fecal was negative last week, so the sample I had wasn't showing anything so I didn't take any chances and started the fendbendazole.
We took her off all supplements for now she got a few days of each. and thats when she got worse so we stopped those.
Hopefully the penicillin is working and she will continue to improve. Oh and I added Fastrack to her last bottle. I also have Probias.

My bet would be on coccidiosis. The sulfa-dimethoxin that you are using should take care of that. You may want to repeat worming and coccidiosis treatment in another 21 days after finishing this treatment.
If your kids are not vaccinated for CD&T, I would also recommend doing that.

Thank you 20kidsonhill, yes they have had CD&Ts 2x.
I'm happy to report she is still steady and wanted to eat.
So to her out to forage and she ate alittle this morning. I know she has a long way to go but its a step in the right direction!

Yay! I am so happy that you have a ray of sunshine! It is so encouraging when they start eating again. If it was cocci the antibiotics started making a difference on end of day 2 for me when I was treating a buckling.

Just wanted to say thank you for everybodies replies and give a quick update. This afternoon she raced, lepted and darted around the yard while she browsed. She still isn't eating dry foods much but she is eating! I have seen her nibble at the hay alittle. I was just so relieved to see her being so playful again. Now if I could just get her eating right! She sure was chomping down the forage this evening, how on earth do I get her to eat with the others now that she gets turned out to forage 2x daily and trust me, she don't want to change! Little brat!
