Poor JJ. There are so many reasons why a goat kid would become ill and stop eating. The most likely being illness/infection, parasites, or low blood sugar. He needs to be warmed and bottle fed if he has a suckle. If not, he needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. Please try contacting your local large animal veterinarian. It is likely that he is dehydrated and feeling very ill.
