Can you post a picture of her full body. Those close ups are hard to see anything. Copper is given by weight.

Here are the pics, if they are not good enough I can try again later. Thank you for your time and help. We rescued this kid ,she had lice and was underweight.She was from the goat version of a puppy-mill so it has been ruff on the kid. How many oz of copper can I give her.

If she is only 2 months old, I'd just put out a good loose mineral for her to eat. She is probably deficient in everything.

Possible deficient in everything, I would just give her a mineral block and then a salt lick , we have one with our goats and then a mineral block on the other part of the play area

Loose minerals like the Sweetlix are best for goats. They don't have a rough tongue like a cow and can't lick enough to get enough minerals. Plus the blocks are full of molasses so it is like eating candy.
