Baby Pygmy goat feeding and water

I have a 4 week old baby pygmy goat and have had him for 2 weeks. He has been taking mannapro replacement and has been getting 4 bottles a day with 5 oz in two feedings and 4 oz in the others. He still seemed as if he was starving and just started to nibble leaves. I gave him water in a bottle as he will not drink and was concerned about him becoming dehydrated with the heat and now he has red urine. I am so concerned as I read that you shouldn't give water to a baby goat in a bottle as it causes this problem, but a friend said she offers water to her kid and they will drink until they are not thirsty. Have I harmed my baby? PLEASE HELP
