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
