He may be bloated, since his belly is tight. We use Pepto-Bismol or oil (vegetable or mineral) at about 2 tablespoons. Also if you hold him so his head is higher than his tummy and massage it, it will help him burp up the gas. Be careful if you use the vegetable or mineral oil as the goat can't feel it to swallow correctly, and can breathe it into his lungs. That's why we use the pepto. Hope he feels better soon!
