Floppy kid syndrome is a killer with a funny name, baby goats can go from funny little bouncing fur balls to dead in a very short time - and this is just one way it can happen.
I leave most of my goat stuff to my wife, but I almost learned the hard way how fragile bottle goats are.
We received some 4 day old bucklings from a Facebook group we are members of, and we jumped in full tilt. We spend several hundred dollars in housing and fencing, bottles, and milk replacer and starting making plans for a full scale goat army in the back yard.
My wife and I decided that our babies looked thin and decided to fatten them up (seasoned goat farmers are probably sighing and shaking their collective heads at our ignorance) we figured if 2 or 3 daily feedings of 10 ounces was good then 5 feedings of 16-20 would get our new friends fat and sassy in no time.
a few days in my wife noticed one was acting "floppy" - it looked drunk, was unsteady on it's feet, and had droopy eyelids. - Knowing that baby goats can go from healthy to dead in a day she got worried (cried a little) and yelled at me a lot.
