The above posters have already given you great advice! I did see your other post so I would like to add. It is important for you to find a vet sooner rather than later. The vet can check for any respiratory issues as well as run a fecal. The fecal is important for several reasons. Parasites (wormloads) should always be evaluated before deworming so that the proper dewormer can be used for specific worms. Cocci is another thing they can see while doing the fecal. Cocci is a kid killer. Cocci is different from worms and is not treated with a dewormer.
The vaccine schedule will vary from vet to vet but the CD&T is very important. Your vet can also tell you if Rabies vaccine is a good idea in your area.
Congratulations on your new goat! Does she/he have a buddy?
