Hello DUG/Atticus
As Nanno says your doing what you can.
My next suggestion is going to sound kind if "Gross"
If you can collect a couple good urine samples they can be combined, and then left to sit 24 hours were they will NOT be disturbed. Then look for "Sediment" on the Bottom of the container, No appreciable sediment he is probably clear of UC.
A good amount you have a problem. But with you pushing AC and oral fluids high sediment can also be from the AC dissolving the the UC.
At any rate keep him hydrated, feed him stuff he likes, MY inclination would like Nanno BP Shreds wet mash warm. With your normal goat feed mixed in with it.
Moving him were he can get as close to his herd is good to.
Did you wrap his shoulder like I mentioned? He may not like it but who likes to have a cast on or broken ribs wrapped up in a corset. Been their done that a couple times myself.
Both Not fun but he will learn to live with it. for the time it takes to heal good.
Push the fluids and like Nanno said "Flavor" the water with Gatorade/or something similar.
Sorry to hear Atticus is having troubles
Keep a Stiff Upper Lip
Happy Trails
