I would say that her intestines are irritated and it can be from something she ate or worms. If she acts fine I would just watch her. Since she is going in for another fecal I wouldn't be too worried as long as she is eating, drinking, and acting like a goat.

I agree with @babsbag

Does her poo still look like this today?

When do you plan on getting another fecal run? This is important as you need to know if you are getting resistant parasites.

I have been enjoying the pics of the girls you have been posting :)

Thank you. It's better today... They go back on 1/26/16 to see vet, fecal and ultrasound.

Can you give her a little grain or feed pellets with some kefir or yogurt with live cultures? Or add some electrolytes/ACV to her/their water for a couple of days?

Of course I can and will...:) doc says she's too fat, but I'm sure a little is ok.

Just was thinking maybe the probiotics and good bacteria might help stabilize her digestion/ease any irritation that might be there.
