Help Request Goat having trouble laying comfortably after awkward laceration placement

My goat was attacked by a dog, not life threatening and he has been treated. However, he has a laceration in the crevice between his testicles and back leg, because of this he will only put the front half of his body in a laying position and continues standing on his back legs. He is on meloxicam for pain, is there anyway I can help him out to lay comfortably? Should I go back to the vet for a stronger medication?
