I would recommend that you have Karoly checked out by a vet. There are some mineral or nutritional deficiencies that can cause a goat to walk abnormally, but do not always cause a runny nose. That could be caused by just being sick in general or indicate a respiratory infection. His urine may smell bad from dehydration. All of his symptoms are pretty vague right now so a physical examination by a vet would be the next step to see what is ailing him so that an appropriate treatment can be started.
