Good job so far---keep her moving, give baking soda and maybe some mineral oil or activated charcoal. Is she current on Cd&T? Did she get into something by chance?

I actually think that I am the problem I am sorry to say. I gave the goats fresh vegetables two days in a row and I think she made a pig out of herself. 100% my fault. I have been walking her around and I offered her some oats but she refused. I drenched her with pedialite twice and she seems to be doing much better. Any other suggestions? Yes she is current on CD&T

Keep her moving. Give baking soda and put some baking soda out for her to self regulate too.

Is she burping or passing gas?

Baking Soda is always available and yes she is passing some gas and walking today without as much encouragement.

Sounds like she's doing better today then?

It may take her a couple of days to feel completely better after a dietary issue. How's the diarrhea?

I would give her a packet of Jello mixed with enough water to liquify it every 3 or 4 hours until the diarrhea subsides.
