Baby goat panting - anything wrong??

One boer buckling (5 days old) is panting, much more than any of the other kids. We have 6 kids from 3 does. All are between 9 days old to 5 days old.
We thought it was because it is so hot, but he's still doing it when it cool down.
He's about 1/2 pound smaller than his sister.
He's eating well, bet doesn't seem as strong as his sister.

Any ideas on why hes panting and anything to do??

Thanks

Are you saying he is panting even in the evenings and early mornings when it's cooler?

I'd check his temp and lungs.If he aspirated any fluid while he was being born he could have pneumonia.
