This sounds like a case of enterotoxemia caused by the chlostridium bacterium. Google enterotoxemia to get a better description of the symptoms and also treatment. Since she is older, then this may be a milder case. Penicillin should be given subcutaneous as IM can do nerve damage. I would give a large dose of Penicillin, and also the chlostridium antitoxin. This comes from overeating or too much sugars going into the gut instead of digesting in the stomach. Grain lush pastures, etc can cause this. She is screaming because her stomach is really in pain. There is a goat site that describes a treatment for this...

Just my guess
