If he's a really big boy it may be that he weighs more than his joints are ready to take at this age. I've heard of this happening with horses. It could be that he's still trying to leap around like a kid but with the bulk of a mature goat. I like to keep a little Bute on hand for the horses, but it also works well for goats. 1/4-1/2 gram should do it. It really helps with inflammation. Hope he feels better soon!
