3 week old kid became limp, how to cure?

[Goat Whisperer]

I agree with the others. Many things it could be, without seeing him it is hard to say.
Get him to a vet as soon as you can. When they are this young you don't have time to wait and see.

What is his temperature?

Did you do the milk change gradually?

I should of seen this before, but he's dead now, and my dad went to bury him while I was asleep so I didn't have to see the body.
And no, we didn't because we didn't have the mother, so we had to train them to bottle feed, and went from milk replacer, which they hated to whole milk, which they seem to love.

Oh no I'm so sorry
I've lost a kid before too and I know how it feels. I hope others are doing well

It's hard to lose the babies. Have you given Buddy his CDT vaccine? He should have it at three weeks.

It may be a good idea to call the vet soon, explain, what happened, and ask what to watch for and maybe keep on hand for future emergencies like this. Once your vet has a better idea of your situation, it will be easier for him to help you in the future.
At 3 weeks, your other buckling is at the age for the typical coccidiosis prevention treatment and for a CD/T booster (provides loing term protection against Clostridium types C&D which can cause enterotoxemia, and tetanus). You may have already known this, but I know I didn't when I first got goats.
