Yes, this is called quidding and can be caused by a number of things - damage to the cranial nerves by listeriosis, a brain abscess or CAE. Loss of teeth due to age or excessive wear on teeth by grazing sandy soils can lead to quidding also a drench gun injury may lead to an abscess which stops the goat from swallowing normally.

What is the cud from another goat going to do for the other goat if it is sick?

the only way a cud from another animal will help is if the sick animal will chew the others cud... what this does is introduce "good stomach bacteria" to the ill animal.. usually after bloat or some similar problem.. you can also use beer that the fizz has been removed, probios, or live culture yogurt. I would suggest not using the cud of another animal to avoid cross contamination but it will work in a pinch....
