I am glad that the one little guy is doing well. I am so very sad to hear of your losses though... I cannot imagine it. My heart goes to you and your family.
I thought that, too, when I first read your post: could it be something genetic? We lost almost a whole litter of pups at the Denali Park kennel once to a genetic disorder where the tracheas did not develop as they grew - so they outgrew their windpipes. Horrible. Only one pup, Pixie, survived. We also have a rescued Australian Shepherd that is completely blind, and - after doing a lot of research - found that that is also a recessive genetic disorder in the breed.
Anyway, just thinking "out loud." Hope you find a resolution to the issue. I know you will do what is best for your family and goats. You must know you have support here.
