Calculi & bloat can both be painful and both can cause death. if the bladder does leak/rupture, it will contaminate his gut and takes a few days to completely shut him down. You could wrap a white towel around him and if he pees it will show Do we think you have correctly diagnosed? Can't say that but for sure not peeing is not good....and that is a sign of blockage, can't go. IF IT IS calculi and he is not fully blocked, there is a very slight chance you can work to get them dissolved & he mat get enough relief through his ever slightly open urethra to prevent rupture. Maybe enough to save his life. Maybe.
I don't know what else to suggest beyond the vet as we cannot evaluate him. It is sad for you to be in this position and I hope things take a turn for the better, especially since a vet does not appear to be an option. Prayers for you both. Let us know what happens.
Honestly I thought it was too late a week ago. He just keeps plodding along. He looks sick now, if I hadnt seen him last wednesday looking like he was struggling to pee I would have assumed pneumonia or something. His right eye is ooxing mucous. He has little appetite, is withdrawn. He released a little stool today and it was blood tinged. Maybe my local vet who put down my two day old goat with a brain issue can help in some way.
