Some does have a condition known as 'dropped stomach". It involved permanent stretching of the ventral musculature in late pregnancy. After kidding, the ventral abdomen remains pendulous but affected animals are otherwise normal. Goat Medicine (pg285). My guess is that someone had just weaned her kids, people often buy these goats thinking they are bred. It dose look like two basketballs.
