Kid about a week premature. Mother was young and would not accept the kid so we are raising it on a bottle. It eats well and has had colostrum for three days. However, there is now a problem--excessive urination. We have raised several kids and I have never seen a little goat urinate every few minutes. The kid also seems to be shaking/shivering but not noticable until you hold the kid. Has no temperature, no diarrhea. Stools look normal for kid his age. Any ideas as to what might be happening here?
