She needs to be checked as soon as possible by your local veterinarian as prolonged starvation could be dangerous. During pregnancy, appetite could decrease anyway. This sign is quite generic so a physical examination is absolutely necessary to understand the underlying cause.

This is a major concern in a pregnant goat - inappetance for any reason can lead to a major energy deficit know as pregnancy toxemia which further reduces appetite and can be fatal to both mother and kid. A full vet check is recommended but in the meantime you should seek a high energy tonic containing glucose, calcium and potassium would be advisable until this can be arranged
