Can anyone out there help! I am pretty sure i have foundered one of my girls. I got her a couple weeks ago and she was in pretty bad shape she has been pushed around because she was on the small side. they were only getting marsh hay and so i brought them home and have been trying to bring them around. well they have been getting young 2nd crop hay (really nice stuff) and some grain. well now she is walking on eggshells , i took the 2nd crop hay away and put her on first crop, and took the grain away. her feet were just trimmed a couple weeks ago and they are warm is there anything else i can do? Didnt realize goats could be foundered until now. I hate these learning lessons!!!!!!! I would really like to save her she is a real sweet heart!!!!!!!
