What are the ages on the goats? Getting the fecal is the best to make sure you are worming with the right stuff.

Since you started the DiMethox, I would continue that for a full treatment. Then once you do your fecal, you can see if there are other parasites to deal with.

That was what I figured as wellksalvagno said:
Thank you for confirming my decision. I am relatively new(couple of years) to the goats so it is very nice to have others to sort of bounce things off of and be certain I am going down the correct path so to speak. Your advice is appreciated.

ksalvagno said what I would have.
I would wait until after you do the fecal to deworm though.

Don't rule out a bacterial cause. I'd send in a fecal and if it comes back clean pick up some SMZ-TMP from your vet.

We have Barber Pole worm eggs in the fecal so, changing wormer strategy.

Add Red Cell to your lineup if you have it. I dose at 6 ml per 20-30# Barberpoles are bloodsuckers.
