Hey I have a sick nubion buckling a cupple months old. Hes week, screaming, slight diarrhea,mabey too cold(don't have thomometer) yesterday he was a little week. This morning the same and then tonight he's worse. Currently I have him under a heat lamp... gave him some mallasis water, vitamin d and some pesto(for diarrhea) I was wondering what might be wrong with him and treatment for it

Coccidiosis does not always show up bloody. If his mouth is cold that is your first most important problem... Get him warmed up.
I have been for the past hour he's still not worming up fully(warmer then have been) I have him wrapped in a jacket and under a heat lamp

What is mallasis water???? Or Goat down soup????

You have an old bath towel??? warm it in the dryer on hot, or lay across a wood stove or something for a few minutes...wrap him in it then something else... to keep the heat near his body
