I have a 3 year old withered boer goat who is being very lathagic and I think he is comming down with arthritis, is there anything I can do for h

Long story short, I have a pet goat he is a wither, boer goat. Last night and today he has just been very blah… He is not eating normally and he is being very clumsy. I think he is trying to get arthritis in his front legs… Well we put him in a pen away from the rest of the goats and we ate a bit, and laid down. When we let him out at dinner time, he didn’t eat, instead he just walked around looking at the other goats eating… I have given him 2 baby aspirin today one this morning and another about an hour ago… I think he’s being lethargic. Either that or, we live in the state of Texas and the heat is getting to him? Any ideas, suggestions, on what I should do or what it could be? I need help I love my Baby, PS that’s his name, Baby… He’s an ex show goat. If your’re going to ask, yes he has gone to the bathroom…

I think you need to ask a vet about his condition because I’m not sure if anyone here can help you with that :/
