Star glazing

I read in a thread a while back that someone sick goat was star glazing. Is this a sickness also? Thanks

Star gazing is a neurological symptom where the goat or sheep arches its back and neck and stares at the sky. It can be associated with polio, CAE, poisoning, and other serious problems

Star gazing on its own can also merely be a behavorial thing. I had a doe who did this all the time.
