I'm sorry you lost him, and DO NOT feel bad...it happens to everyone sooner or later and you tried harder than a lot would have.

Sorry for your loss, harder we try, more painful it can be because disappointment and guilt mounts on top of the sadness.

Glucose can cause a change like that that quickly, but getting glucose orally pops them RIGHT BACK Up, then they go low again and then the glucose pops them up again. It doesnt sound like that.

Something was wrong, take comfort in knowing you did what you can do and it woul dhave only been worse for him had you not gotten involved.

I'm sorry you lost him, but it does sound like you tried really hard to keep him comfortable and make him better. Good luck with the rest.

I'm so sorry, that's terrible...

I just wanted to add though... you should NEVER force feed a goat, perhaps if you are very experienced and know the anatomy of a goats throat... otherwise, you need to only tube feed a kid that wont eat, or you'll drown it :(
