Personally, I think a fecal should have been done to rule out coccidia but if he has been like this since he was born coccidia is unlikely. White muscle can show up at birth. White muscle can cause general weakness. It can cause generalized pain and/or stiffness, can affect one or more legs, and cause cardiac problems including heart failure. I have seen all of these things but not all in the same kid. BoSe is cheap insurance.
If I didn't mention it before, one thing you might try for his digestion is to get some live acidopholis (sp) culture and add it to his milk. It is a beneficial bacteria. You can get it at the health food store or sometimes in the health food section of the larger supermarkets. It comes in freeze dried powder or in liquid form. The liquid is kept in the refrigerated case. I preferred the liquid but I have used both. It isn't very expensive. It will either help or it won't but it cannot hurt the animal.
