I'm sorry, it sounds like heat stroke or some sort of circulation problem .
Can she stand? Walk?
Keep her on a wet mash and try to rehydrate her.

We're surrounded on three sides by farm fields so know what you mean about the smell. It doesn't harm our silkies who sometimes venture in there on searches for bugs.

On the off-chance she's egg-bound, I'd give her a calcium or Tums. Just open her beak and pop it in. I just gave a Tums to a hen I don't know what's wrong with too, as it was higher than the calcium I had (500 mg vs 300 mg).

Being egg-bound is fatal if they don't expel the egg, so I'd at least eliminate that being the issue. You can give her another tomorrow too.

I hope she turns around and gets better!
here is a video, of how shes acting, dont mind my garage i have to clean it from yesterday. shes isolated herself in there

If her crop feels like a water balloon, she may be crop bound. If that's the case, you could use some cooking oil (little bit) orally and see if you can get the blockage to move through. You could also try some baking soda and water to try to neutralize the fermenting and then try to move things along. If her abdomen is distended, she could have egg yolk peritonitis. Just trying to think of things it might be. Has she been coughing or sneezing lately? If so, it could also be respiratory.
 
no I haven't I looked for the right stuff at tractor supply and i ended up with a bag of pellet food with something to help her guts and intestines, and powder for her water. is it helping? idk doesn't seem like it and she wont eat the pellets. will flock 911 work????
You're going to want liquid valbzen for goats, and dose by weight.
Recover 911 isn't a wormer but electrolytes .
Have you tried the calcium?
I apologize if this has been asked , how old is she and what has her diet been up till now?
