Tooth abcesses in older goats are probably quite common, which would also explain why she isn't eating/putting on weight.

You could try an energy lick, they are mostly sugar/molasses, which may be what she needs to keep going...

Thank you (again)
She is loving the fact that she is being fed separately with her mash!
I think she feels special
I will update in a couple of weeks

careful not to overdo it with extras / new things  too quickly else she'll be scouring from suddenly eating more than usual.
