I have a 2 year old Saanen doe who has the signs of being foundered. She lays down a lot and walks on her knees. Her front hooves are obviously painful. How do you prevent this from happening when you feed grain free choice to a herd? She always runs the others off. Can anything be done to help her or will she ever recover naturally? She is due to kid in March and I would like to keep her for the kids.
