He is standing and hollering at me for a bottle. Not a lot but enough to make me feel better. He is really weak still. He doesn't stand a lot but he can so that is awesome! Thanks for all the info! I'll keep you guys posted.

My old nanny goat had triplets a few months back, two does and a buck. The does were fine and ready to go as soon as she had them cleaned off, the buck was a different story. He had soft hooves, wobbled when he stood and fell flat on his face when he attempted to walk. I left the does with their momma and kept the buck in the office in a play pen. I didn't give him any shots. He got all of the milk he could hold and electrolytes. He was born three months ago and today is a perfect little buck, his only problem is that he gets wound up when he is running around and can't keep up with his own feet. I'm sure that if you tend to your little buck and become his momma, he'll do just fine and will be getting into everything in no time.
