I think you mean "pushing"? This is also called a rectal prolapse. It is commonly found in animals that have diarrhea. In a goat, I would first be thinking about intestinal parasites. I would recommend that Bolt get checked out by a vet to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment. If the prolapse is very bad, he may need a stitch to put it back in place while we work on fixing the problem that started the prolapse in the first place. If the prolapse is very severe, sometimes an animal will need surgery to remove the damaged piece of colon.
