Here is an article for you to read. Milk fever/Ketosis/Toxemia are caused by us miss-managing our goats nutrition. Without change this will be an ongoing problem. Keep up the propolyn glycol until she kids, since it seems to be working, but read the hypocalcemia section of the article, especially with the twitching ears. Vicki
