Welcome to TGS.
what kind of shelters do you have?
How old is the kid?
A cold kid is usually a starving kid. It’s good you get her warmed up, but did you take her temperature before you tried to feed her? Her temp needs to be between 101.5*-103.5*F that’s normal.
Most goats do not do well on milk replacers, it’s better to use whole cows milk from the grocery store.
The milk also has to be at 101* for baby to digest it well. NEVER feed a cold goat it can become toxic in their system
You can give baby a warm water enema use a couple drops of dawn dish soap in a 1/4c of very warm water and using a 3cc leur slip syringe slowly squirt in to rectum then massage her tummy repeat as needed.
Such significant losses in your herd must be heartbreaking. What breed of goats do you have? What do you feed? What loose minerals do you use? I see you’re from Texas too, it’s been a brutal winter and pneumonia is an issue, did you vaccinate for it this year?
