Health & WellbeingI have a 1 1/2 old Billy Boer goat that looks like he is carrying two beach balls in his rumen. I've gave him 1/4 cup veg oil two days ago & baking soda with water last night. He is pooping good , seen him pee last night, wasn't a lot but he did go.
Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. From your picture, the appearance of his rumen seems pretty normal. A healthy, well-fed goat can seem to be quite bloated. If he is acting normal, you have already done all the correct things. Limit his grazing on lush pastures, give him only a small handful of grain once you start him back, and get him off the alfalfa & on a good prairie grass hay. This & fresh water is all most goats will need. Take care.
