I don't know what goes in your sweet feed, but the one I used to feed was composed of corn, oats, barley, and molasses.

That's what I saw in the sweet feed we used when I had more than just chickens.

I will rephrase the question....

Well actually I kinda told a fib I use alfalfa timothy pellets it's like both I would use those sweet feed cracked corn and rolled oats

If mixing their own feed how much sweet feed to how much cracked corn to how much pellets and how much oats?
Like making a recipe measurements are important.

In order to even attempt to mix their own they need to know is it a cup of sweet feed to 3 cups pellets or is it a 5 gallon bucket of sweet feed to a cup of pellets.....see what I am getting at is knowing the ratio or winging it will give much different results.

I think it would confuse anyone trying to care for a new type of animal for them.
I remember when 3 calves were brought into the mix by my ex. I didn't know what to feed them or how much or what a sick one looked like or acted like.

I was lucky that the feed mill I used for chicken feed had really great helpful people who took the time to fully explain things.

Any luck getting ahold of a vet?

I definitely don't know much about feeding goats but that behavior is certainly not normal and is concerning.
