Hi Diana, you mentioned that they are fenced in, are they browsing on fresh green grass or what kind of browse is there for them to consume? How old are they and are any of them nursing? I know lots of qustions but about the only thing I can come up with is Hypomagnesemia (grass tetany, or grass staggers). Don't really know the situation but this comes from foraging or browsing on plants or grass with little or no magnesium. Just a thought see what else others come up with. Symptoms are somewhat familiar rapid breathing, tremors and then lack of coordination. Mortality is high also. I'll wait to see if anyone has anything else to add.
