The alfalfa could be too much calcium.  Does she not
get any green grass?  Your ration sounds off.  Her
muscles need electrolytes in order to function
properly and if she doesn't get it in the forage,
she'll be in trouble.

Why are you feeding beet pulp and rice bran?  Not much
nutrition there really.
