Gary, Thanks for your response, he is still alive this morning, I took his temp it is 102, I never thought about him not expelling all the fluid from his lungs after he was born, I have been keeping him upright, I have a box rigged up for him to stand on his back legs to strengthen them and he has been expelling some fluid from his mouth, I will try holding him up and shaking him a little. He nursed from his mother a little this morning, yesterday he wouldn't so I have been feeding him with a weak kid tube, been giving him a little of the karo, mollasses, corn oil you talked about with about 2 ounces of goat milk.
I am not sure how much and how often I should be feeding him.
