Could be selenium deficiency. Give her 1/2 cc of BoSe orally or by SQ injection and it should be better in about a week.

Caprine Supply carries an oral gel that is selenium and vitamin E. That would be your next best bet. Other than that selenium is highly regulated by the FDA and most feeds and mineral blends don't really offer enough to actually treat selenium deficiency.
