Annie has been thin for a while now, we ran a fecal on all the goats and we found she had some worms.
Round worm, and lung worm. We de-wormed them with 1cc per 100 pounds of Ivermecton 1%, Annie was 102 pounds according to this chart: http://fiascofarm.com/goats/weight-chart.htm
so she only got 1cc injected into her thigh.
Today she is sluggish, and we just noticed she has diarrhea. Is this because of the worms? Or is there something seriously wrong?
We have a call into the vet but they are not picking up and will most likely not call us back until the morning.
Any advice? Has anyone ever been in this situation before? And will she be ok?

1 cc per 100 lbs of ivermectin would not be a very strong wormer for us.

I kept getting mixed results, 1cc per 10 pounds, 45 pounds, 50 pounds, 75 pounds, 90 pounds, 100 pounds. I called my vet and they said to go with the 1cc per 100 pounds.
I think it varies from vet to vet, but what should I do about Annie?

Annies poop appears to be returning to a pudding consistency rather then straight liquid. I think/hope thats a good thing, and it just means it was the de-wormer.
