Grinding Teeth

My doe, Ila, has been grinding her teeth for a few weeks now. We live on land that is very high in parasites, so I’m constantly fighting against it (if anyone has advice on that it’d be much MUCH appreciated, no dewormers seem to help.) I just recently dried her up, and so she hasn’t been on feed. Her weight has dropped a lot (her bones are exposed) and I’m really starting to worry. I would run her to the vet, but she’s acting 100% normal! She’s playing with her buddies and wanting treats and attention whenever I walk by! I have been feeding her homemade treats with oatmeal and coconut oil to hopefully increase her weight, and I’ve been giving her a few handfuls of whole corn a day, but she still is very underweight and grinding her teeth.
I know it means they are in pain, but can it be a mineral deficiency or something?
