Sick Baby Goat!?

[Crazy4Goats]

Just rescued a baby goat kid, he was given to me to see if I could help him. He is about 2 weeks old, still on bottle. He was fine the first day we brought him home, but now he has flying,watery, milk colored poop and he isn’t as alert. On top of that, he has a bent front hoof and earwax and snot. He looks like a LaMancha Nigerian Dwarf mix, and I know LaMancha goats get earwax too soo.. he is now only taking an ounce and a half MAYBE a day and took 4cm of electrolytes yesterday in between bottles. He finds it hard to walk around a lot, and our family has already fallen in love with him. What should we do?

The goat is inside the house in the warmth with a diaper on and a baby onesie, but he’s a boy, so baby diapers don’t really work!

Update: Just fed him a bottle, he willing took an ounce with force feeding!! His eyes are bright and he is more alert, but still has bad poos.

Sorry to hear that he isn't feeling well. Did you take a temperature on him? Normal temp: 101 to 103 varies depending on the temperature of the goat's surroundings.

What type of milk are you feeding him-replacer or whole milk(store bought) and is it the same that the previous owner was feeding him?

If possible, can you have a fecal run to check for coccidiosis as he is getting to the age when they can pick it up.

I’m feeding him a buttermilk,whole cows milk, and evaporated goat milk mix because I heard the formula is bad for them.

We had coccidois run through here a month ago, but treated all kids with Albon. His temp was 102.5

The old owner had him on mom, I think. They didn’t give me too much details

Any ideas what to do for his hoof?

Any ideas what to do for his hoof?

Is it just the one hoof?

We don't have a lot of experience with bottle kids so I'm hoping some others will stop by and give you suggestions.
