Since the thiamine did not help, it must be the circling disease indeed, or listeriosis, the encephalic form.
How long did you have the kid? I suspect it came infected already. Couple of links:

Make sure the bacteria does not spread to your family and your friend.
I would remove all the litter and disinfect the area to be safe.
It could also be in the soil and the grass they eat, maybe move them to a different yard or pasture for a while, or let them eat from brushes and trees instead of grass.
