Check for worms and coccidia also check for giardia (another parasite that causes diarrhea). do a blood test for Johne's disease. There is alot of resistance to panacur and getting to be quite a bit to ivermectin. Check with the vet and BE sure he gave 5 times the cattle dose of panacur by weight for at least 5 straight days and 3 times the dose of Ivermectin for at least 2 days. If he did not give enough then try again.

Is this goat getting any roughage in the form of hay? One of my old guys is doing very well on soaked and broken up alfalfa cubes as he will not forage nor go down to the hay bale with the girls.
