Most drugs that you will need are not prescription and many online supply companies carry them at a big savings from what you would pay a vet or the feedstore (who order from those very same companies then do a huge markup!) You can get Albon as a flavored paste from any small animal vet, they use it as a puppy dewormer.

Her poop did seem to have much more consistency tonight still mushy but at least less watery. I think maybe the wormer is helping. I will reworm her in a day or so. Thanks for the replies. I feel so bad for her. No interest in hay yet so I made some oatmeal with gartorade and added some molasses too to bring up her blood sugar as well.

The treatment meds I mentioned below are what is most commonly used to treat the coccidi sucessfully in goats. I use Corrid on my healthy kids that develop coccidiosis but would not recommend it in your case because it restricts thiamin intake. Finding a vet that specializes or even halfway knows how to properly treat goats may be difficult to find. Goats require specific treatments for different conditions than cattle, even if the same meds used on cattle, that are to be used on goats it may call for special considerations on the rates and administration.
