Bio Sponge paste also works. I keep a tube of it on hand. But I always use it after I know what the problem is and start treating the problem.
Diva's not feeling well - Update: She's on the mend!

What a bummer. 
Unfortunately that's the only useful thing I have to say.

I've decided to stick with the vet recommendation of Albon and Valbazen for Diva.
I have also added Pedialyte, Red Cell, Vit B and Probios Gel.
Today Diva got:
10 ml Albon - she will get 5 ml a day for the next 5 days starting tomorrow for the Cocci.
.85 ml Valbazen for the tapeworms
2 ml Red Cell (as a complete mineral boost)
1.5 ml Vitamin B Complex
5 g Probios Gel
20 ml Pedialyte
Tomorrow she will get:
Albon
Probios Gel
Pedialyte
Thank you for the suggestion of PenG, but I do not want to use antibiotics unnecessarily and it was not advisable by my vet.
My plan for future kids is to start them on a dimethox prevention program. I already feed medicated Noble Goat, but obviously it is not enough.
Thank you everyone for all your help and support. I'll update you tomorrow on how Diva is doing.

Today I've given Diva:
Albon 5 ml
Probios Gel 5 g
Pedialyte mixed with Arrest (gelling) 20 ml
She's feeling better today. Still scouring but out munching on browse. The continued scouring is what made me add the gelling agent to the pedialyte.
She keeps going back to the barn or a shady spot to rest. It's our first hot day today 85*F. I know some of you southwesterners will think that's mild but for Ohio in May that's darn hot!
Everyone else got their follow up dose of prescribed medication and is doing well too. I am seeing softer poo from everyone but due to the medications that seems to be normal.

For some reason the Di-Methox 40% is on back order
But you can use the 12.5%. The question was posed to me what the dosage would be and I thought I'd share it here:
The 40% is listed to have Each ml contains 400 mg sulfadimethoxine
And the 12.5% is listed to have EACH FLUID OUNCE CONTAINS 3.75G SULFADIMETHOXINE
(3.75 g = 3750 mg and 1 fl oz(US) = 29.5735 ml and 126.8 mg = 1 ml)
So if you're using the 12.5% Solution then you need:
3.15 ml to equal 1 ml of the 40%
When using the 12.5% Solution of Di-Methox the dosage would be:
3.15 ml per 5# of goat day 1
3.15 ml per 10# of goat days 2-5
(Had to break out my conversion calculators and my algebra to get that one done )
