Could be he has cocci or worms as well...I would have a fecal done to see,and ask for cocci check, take his temp be sure something isnt brewing there...

How much does he weight and how much do you feed him..also what is he being fed? some babies may need bottles broke down a bit more, so to be fed more often but total the same amount needing, also if you use replacer, some do not do wel on it, and so switching to whole cows milk may make a difference..

they sure are cute...I agree with goat hiker...still gather poop and have a fecal done just to give you piece of mind...
Goats milk is of course perfect food for them : ) Careful not to over feed,
if you take their weight in pounds and multiply that by 16 to get it in Oz then multiply that by 10% to see how much they need in a 24 hour period...then divide in 4 feedings a day....re weigh them weekly and adjust milk amount as needed...You want to see a firm belly, not sunken or pop belly...;) Best wishes
