Unhappy bottle feeding

I posted (help) on Sat night. I want to thank everyone for thier advise. We lost the doe. We are now raising her boys they are doing fine. Could someone give some pointers and things to watch for?

If you don't have goat's milk, use Vit D milk from the store as opposed to milk replacers.
Keep an eye on the consistency of their manure when at all possible. This can bring problems to light before the kid is too weak to stand.
Be consistent with your feeding times and bottle temperature.
