Hello Nanno
Sorry to hear about what is going on with Cozco.
Here is a though from horse experience "Cushings Syndrome"
I have no idea if it affects goats.
Hormonal imbalance, that can affect hair coat, body condition.
In horses a blood workup can usually detect hormone deficiency, but I don't know if there is a "Standard" for goats.
As you well know there is a lack of good research on goats outside of the very basics.
As mentioned in other post above it could be a combination of Old Age,Parasites and Hormone imbalance.
A tough combination even in a old horse that vet's know more about how the body works.
I wish you and Cozco the best.
Happy Trails
