Hope she is feeling better. Goats being goats are terrible for finding feed bins,and can get lids off easy enough. Bicarb and veg oil are my first port of call in such disasters, and massaging belly, can ease any bloat. Like you say, getting them to walk round, is sometimes nigh on impossible, when they are stuffed full.
Three years ago, I was distracted by the arrival of some new goats, and failed to notice the barn door was ajar....but two BS goatlings had seen it, along with the pygmy. An hour later, I found they had been in a sack of Alfa A, and some hen feed. Looking at what was missing, and what was on the floor, and the fact there were three of them in there, I assumed not much had gone down the hatch. They all seemed ok.
Next morning, one of the BS was far from all right. She was scouring, and all wobbly. I called the vet, and she tubed her with washing up liquid, to try and get anything in her stomach up. Unfortunately she collapsed, and we could see she was to far gone - all the sugar in the alfa a probably. The other BS, who I still am, and surprisingly the little pygmy were fine.
I now check and double check all doors, even if I am only down the field.
