My buckling that was born Feb 14th.. looks too thin and his coat is very dull.
He is a bottle baby and fed whole milk. How long should I continue to bottle feed him?
I know I need to do a fecal to check for worms and coccidia.
He's had his cd/t shots.
Poops look good.
He's starting to eat alfalfa pellets and goat sweet feed, plus hay, grass and brows and water..
Is there anything I could add to his food to beef him up and improve his condition?

Will post a picture later.

Have you checked or treated for coccidia? He is about the right age to have an issue with that. He should be down to one bottle a day or almost weaned by now. 12 weeks is a good amount of time to bottle feed.
