in goats it is not called colic .. it is called bloat.. and yes they do .. it is very dangerous if not treated immediately and correctly.. there is a lot of miss information on-line on how to correct this... the best thing to do is if it is not severe yet is give them gas x pills..... I give 3 .. rub their stomach and do not let them roll as this will twist their stomachs together then you have a dead goat........ if this doesn't work you can give them sodium bicarbanate..(baking soda) mixed with water and this usually works well also .. I am always afraid of aspiration so I always start with gas x..... walking them if they can is also good to get the gas to release but sometimes they can't walk.. .... I am 34 and have had goats since I was born..
