My 2 month old goat was fine 6 hours ago just cold. We had a cold front come through. But now he keeps falling forward. His front legs are buckling under him and he is crying. Anyone know what is wrong?

I'm so sorry to see this. Animals excel at hiding health problems; young ones especially can go from seemingly fine to dying terrifyingly fast.:hugs

The trouble I am Having with it is that I gave him a little bit of selenium/vitamin E gel a a .10 ml of fortified vitamin b complex. I only gave .10 because he was small and didn't want to give too much. I lost his sister as well last month. These are the first ones I have lost like this. Before they died they walked around a little tucked in like they were always cold. But it has been cold. But was that a symptom? They were both so active.
