I hope that I'm not the only one that noticed that as soon as someone suggests you seek professional help for symptoms that could indicate a potentially dangerous situation, you immediately respond that you don't have the funds and then suddenly you found the cause of his symptoms and he's miraculously fine?

I think it's highly unlikely that his scours, daze, and labored breathing resolved itself the hour between your posts.

You need to call a vet or have your parents call the vet. Your animals are sick incredibly often, and the majority of time it's because of things like improper conditions, improper feeding, or unsanitary living conditions -- and you keep getting more animals.

If this goat suffers because you refuse to even call a vet, neither you nor your family should have these animals, or any for that matter.

The info is that you need to call a professional and re-evaluate the conditions your animals are kept in. If you're having this many incidents of sick animals, then you either are neglecting them, or there's something else going on.

You can't fix any of this by being cheap. Your parents either need to pay for a vet to check out the animals, or the animal are going to suffer.

It depends if it is bloat and if it is gas bloat or frothy bloat. Gas bloat can be relieved by passing a tube down it’s throat to relieve the gas but you can’t push too hard. If it is frothy bloat passing a tube won’t work. Both have to be treated quickly, it may already be too late because it has been about 24 hours that you have noticed something, goats hide their symptoms. The best thing to do is call a vet and have them come out. If it is too far along, if it is bloat, they would be able to put him down right away so he doesn’t suffer. Surgery isn’t an option for goats, they don’t survive the anesthesia.

Animals are expensive, they always have been. I don’t know a cheap animal out there.

To clarify, this is common with all ruminants. Anesthesia isn't recommended due to ruminants having chambered stomachs. Food in the forestomach risks aspirating food particles into the lungs because anesthesia suppresses the swallowing reflex.

Then you need to put your feelings and pride aside and call animal protective services.

If these animals are being neglected and aren't being treated when sick, and you're aware of this, you're complicit in their suffering.
