Hi Janet,
To me it sounds as if you are doing everything that can be done. The best thing to do is to monitor her closely checking for changes in temperature, relapse, etc. Your vet sounds pretty knowledgeable and I would pay pretty close to what he/she tells you.
Is she grinding her teeth at all?
I would not change her diet to quickly though. I'm not exactly sure how the oats will affect her or not but anything you do diet wise you want to do gradually over a period of time. Whenever I've changed my goats diet abruptly, they almost always start scouring for a few days after.
I'm pretty sure that a few of the others will have some input here for you as well.
Best regards,
Gary Pfalzbot
