Claudication, which means "limping" in Latin, is when limping occurs due to pain or a physical impairment. The sensations of claudication are felt in the leg or buttock regions.
I find that lameness is when something (example: a horse) is disabled so that walking is hard to do or cannot be done. Unsoundness, however, is being weak or infirm. Many people think lameness and unsoundness are the same, but they're not.

It depends on what is causing the lameness. It could be a day or two from a stone bruise to a life-long problem like a suspensory ligament injury.
Your goat could be limping for a lot of reasons depending on whether it is a front or a hind leg - it could have a musculoskeletal injury - feel the leg for heat and pain and look for any swellings. Or it could be limping due to a stone bruise, footrot, shelly toe, scald, or other injury to the hooves - check the base of the foot and between the claws - you may need to trim the hooves and ensure they are not overgrown - sometimes when they are overgrown you can get under-running and build up of material - also feel the hooves for any heat
Thrush is the infection of the frog of the horses hoof. You can normally tell, because when you go to pick their hooves, you smell something really strong and also you will probably see a black puss-like liquid. Thrush can occur when horse the horses hoof is trapped in moisture, for example, if your horse lives outside and stands in the mud all day, it most likely will get thrush. Hope that helps!! ~Makenna~

As long as a vet see's and sorts the problem out there shouldn't be any underlying problems. There could be limping for a while but nothing more.
