By all means take your goat to a veterinarian. From the symptoms you describe, it would appear you have no time to lose. Two sites you might check out while you're getting ready to take your goat to the vet:

extremely helpful thank you for your quick reply
Yes, find a vet. Where did you get him from? Are you sure he's 12 weeks? By your description there seems to be two things that may be wrong with him. 1) He could be sick 2) He might not be weaned. If you're lucky it's the latter but no one but an experienced goat owner/breeder or vet would know and if he's sick the vet is more useful to be asking! Good luck!
no he is not weaned he got into some nasty flowers that didnt agree with him hes fine now thanks to everone
This is NOT the forum for professional medical diagnoses, for cryin' out loud. Get off your damn computer and take your goat to a vet.
thank you i did when i wrote this question i didnt know anything about goats ive learned alot since than with everones help
