Also remember that late pregnancy and stress also cause extreme numbers of worms to migrate. We can show a doe who is not used to be showing with a near negative amount of worms on fecal, and she can come home with a huge worm burden of hemoncous. Since worms and cocci also affect the lining of the intestine, I would guess that you are seeing worm migration and need to fecal and perhaps worm. Though I really do like the idea of using the Probios, to make sure she is assimilating all of her food and keeping her rumen flora numbers up. Check her gums and also see how pink they are.

And no, never heard of the poop/Ketosis thing! Ketosis is usually a dramatic decrease in eating along with finger nail polish (acetone) smelling breath. Might also want to read this: http://hometown.aol.com/goatlist/hypocal.htm
