Need help with orphaned 2 day old buckling

[Chickens]

So 2 days ago my MILs doe gave birth to a little buckling we all thought she looked like she was still going to have another baby but we stayed out in barn with her for hours and she just cleaned the little buckling and watched out for him she walked around eating hay and drinking water she didnt have another one. Her last kidding was a single birth and was acting alright so we went back about our business checking in on her through out the day and before bed next morning she was still acting ok and feeding the buckling but the next morning she was screaming out and wouldn't stand couldnt hardly raise her head foaming from the mouth and pushing , and she was bleeding a lot we called vet and took her in he examined her and she had another baby stuck up inside her she couldnt push out he put his hand inside her and couldnt pull it out it had her bleeding internaly and he thought she was to far gone to survive surgery so he put her down the kid inside of her was already dead, now i have a 2 day old baby to bottle feed and not sure about how much and how often for one this young any help would be appreciated


Edited, the buckling is a fainting goat

Sorry you lost your doe, it is heart breaking. I would start with about 10-12 ounces 4 times a day. Let him have as much as he wants, my rule is they can spit out the nipple three times before I decide that they are truly full. By one week I would go to 3x a day and offer him 20 ounces and let him take what he wants. I am basing this on my Alpines, not sure how big a fainting goat is. If you are feeding replacer make sure that it isn't soy based. Cow's milk from the grocery store works fine. If the kid drains the bottle I offer more next time. I have never had one overeat.

X2 to what @babsbag said. Just wanted to specify that the cow milk to use from the store has to be vit d.

Sometimes you have to try different nipples to get them to take it. Also try laying one hand over his eyes (and use to help steady head) and hook pinky under chin while holding bottle with rest of hand. They close their eyes when nursing mom.

What is the kids weight?
Fainting goats can be like Nigies or actual true fainting goat meat goats. Big size difference.
a 3-4 # kid is not going to take that much at first

He is a little guy, his momma was a regular size goat but her last kid is 2 years old now and she looks like a baby beside my 1 year old alpine. The vet checked the buckling over as well and said he was on the little side but he was doing good his momma died with baby inside her vet thought the other baby was big. He weighs 3 pounds

A three pound goat isn't going to take 10 oz of milk this young. But I would still offer it and let him tell you when he is full. It is amazing how much milk they can drink, I swear that they have hollow legs.

Here are a couple of links that may help you. I do not use the formulas found on the page/pages. I use striaght whole milk bought from the store and warm it.
