Lets talk about goats!

You can try another flavor too. Mine liked cherry the best but I had 2 that preferred pink lemonade..
You might also try warm water. Since it's cold, sometimes they won't drink because the water is too cold. Hope it helps, if not will try something else.

I’ve also had good luck adding a bit of molasses to warm water. Not as a regular thing but if I’m wanting to make sure someone is getting fluids

That was going to be my next suggestion!

I can tell who’s been drinking now, too! Water level is down and their lips are red!

So, I gave my baby his CD/T shot this morning and gave him his dewormer this afternoon. I found a lamb/kid supplement/minerals that is supposed to provide nourishment and energy. This evening he was completely different! I let all 3 out of the pen while I was outside working (the older male follows me everywhere and the younger two follow him). The baby jumped and ran and even cried when I ran inside, my husband said. Lol! Thank you guys for all your help and advice. I already feel much more confident that I will be able to care for my Toby, Curly Q, and Mr. Goat!

Totally missed this post before my last reply.
Glad he's doing better!

Sorry about reviving an old thread.. I just wanted to join. I am getting excited as breeding season approaches, I love seeing those little kids. I currently have meat goats and dairy goats (Boers and Saanens). They are currently together, but I am going to separate them, after I cross them together, so that I don't get the crosses year after year. This year is just a fun little experiment.
