Thanks Nan! He's much better. It wasn't heat related after all. I guess I just assumed because it was scorching hot outside. When I checked on him this morning, he had string (looks like small baling twine) hanging out of his butt, so the Vet suggested mineral oil & seeing if he gets it all out without his (the doc's) invasive intervention.
He seems to have passed it all, & I'm wandering around looking all over for twine, because:
a.) we use netwrap on our bales & I've not found any random piles of twine laying around...
b.) he's the worlds fussiest eater normally, & I'm not sure why plastic string was attractive to a goat that won't eat his favorite treats if they've hit the ground, but now that I know he picked it up, I'm worried that he'll find more.
