You know the goat has urinary calculi because he can't pee. Goats will usually pee when they stand up and you will see him straining and stretching. If untreated, the bladder will rupture and the goat will die. It is more common in males than females. It is caused by a mineral imbalance - calcium and phosphorus in wrong proportion, not 2:1. Usually a couple of doses will cure it. Don't know why my website would not load. I will have to check it out.
