Well, I lost the little goat. I think it was due to injury caused by his mother. She protected them so well. Our cats would get in the pen and she would attack them. I think she accidently hit him instead. she had spike type horns. I saw her go after a cat later pretty hard so I figure this was it. He was a little over 3 weeks and his stool was okay he was just urinating with blood mixed and then that stopped even though I did give some fluids milk/water etc. Thanks for the adivice I will put it in my book incase something else simular happens.
