Yearling Nubian Doe off feed, puny

A buddy recently bought a yearling Nubian Doe who was doing well up until 3 days ago when she went off her feed.

He thought it may be bloat and treated her with mineral oil and baking soda and the next day she was moving around alot more and browsing, but still not interested in feed, she is usually the first one to greet him.

She was wormed 3 days ago and none of her herdmates are feeling ill.
her abdomen is back to normal, but this morning, she was not wanting to move around unless he made her and not wanting to eat.
He gave her some coccidosis meds last nite.

any ideas or suggestions to help him?
thanks!

Could def. be cocci - can he have a fecal? Did he give dimethox in the treatment dose or preventative dose?

I talked with our buddy tonite and he said his doe seems to be feeling better this evening after another dose of mineral oil.

I gave him the link here and suggested he come and meet you all here at the goat forum.

Easier for him to get direct answers when the middle woman is cut out, lol

thanks
