here's what l do it is always affective. Mix 1/2 cup baking soda with 2 1/2 cups water and feed it to him that should help

How old is your goat? Goats always need baking soda around for whenever they need it. They know when .. u can try a home made electrolyte that I swear by and saved my 2 goats life. Stop all feed and only give electrolytes. Gallon jug mix 1 cup corn syrup 1/2 cup baking soda and e/4 cup salt....Not gonna say it will work but saved my goats. Good luck. Make sure they do drink it.
Can they bottle feed? If so do it that way. 8-16 ounces every 2-4 hours. For 3 days. If don't clear up you need to take to a vet.
