Response to C.A.E.

Hi, I have another question regarding CAE. I have an older doe that has never been in great shape (my first goat), she is constantly fighting abcesses in the same spot on her lower jaw and sometimes her right knee swells up. I had her and her kid (just the doe ) tested at the vet for CAE and the test came back negative, however I don't know what type of test they performed. Could someone with more experience let me know what other kinds of tests there are? Also, all of her kids have been extremely healthy and have shown no signs of abcesses at all. I think that perhaps her early care and feeding wasn't up to snuff and that is why she is so delicate. If anyone else has had experience with nearly perpetual abcesses in the same dang spot I would like to know what they have done about it. Thanks! Doreen
