I have a 7yr. Alpine/Nubian doe that's sometimes been vomiting a foamy yellow substance after she eats her grain. I was wondering if that means she has worms and if I can do anything about it, without taking her to the vet?

Is Cocoa doing any of the following?
Frothing at the mouth?
Staggering?
Trembling?
Crying for help?
Rapid or labored breathing?
Altered pulse rate?
Paralysis of the limbs?
Convulsions?

She could have eaten too fast......... but then again she may have gotten a hold of something that didnt quite agree with her system  I would worm her anyway just to be on the safe side. What ever you decide to worm her with REWORM again in 10 days after the first dose to kill the larva that still exists. But I dont think this has anything to do with worms. I would bet this girl has got a hold of something posionous |

Eating really fast definitely sounds like Cocoa. Is there anyway to slow down her eating?

not really sure. I just switched Dots grain to one with less molasses so it didn't clump as much. so it's harder for them to chock on. Or maybe you could try getting a larger bucket and spreading it thin on the bottom so she can't get as much food in her mouth at one time.idk just a idea  |

Thankfully Cocoa is not doing any of the symptoms you listed.
