911 three day old kid. Twin birth. No issues. Nursed well for last 3 days. Today he’s getting lethargic. With a stethoscope there aren’t crackles but there is a grunt at the very end of his breath. Gave him Vit B and nutridrench for kids. Also had Vit E first 2 days because of bowed front legs. One thermometer says 104.2 (veterinary one) and the other says 105.8. (Household digital). FAMACHA is 2 maybe 3. Hard to tell as his eyes are so tiny. Thoughts? Sister is fine. He played outside all day but slept a lot. Not hot today and had plenty of shade. He’s not droopy, just is getting more and more tired.

Hows baby today? Did you start antibiotics? Make sure he's pooping as well.
