Clarification by whitney
we did infact talk to the vet,who thought she may have worms and gave us a shot to give to her. we [my husband and I] did as we were advised and very sadly she passed away the very next day.
thank you for responding.

The diarrhea itself is a problem since together with pregnancy and high temperatures, the goat may get dehydrated. Make sure the goat gets enough liquids and electrolytes in her diet. The next step is to figure out what is wrong. A cough is not part of an indigestion, so it may more likely be be a flu
or an infection or a viral disease. It would be safer to have her treated at the vet .
