should I be concerned?

i have a one year old doeling that has gone off her feed for three feedings. She is still eating her hay, but is not touching her grain. There have been no changes in what I am feeding her or in any of her surroundings except I just cleaned the winter pack out of their stalls. her gum color looks OK. Any thoughts?

Does she have access to baking soda? Have you given her probiotics?

What kind of grain is it & where do you get it? We use to buy our grain from TSC & every once in awhile most of our goats(not all) would quit eating it, we'd take it back, get a different bag & fine again for awhile. Did that awhile, now I mix up my own mix made up from reading posts on this forum. No problems anymore.
