I dont think you have anything to worry about there,..Nubian are the only breed I know of with a genetic disorder that can be passed down...she does not look Nubian : ) Maybe spanish goat? either way..I can keep guessing and sooner or later get it right lol...

shes not full grown yet..her horns are way too tiny : )

You will want to start her on quality grain and hay along with loose mineral.. goat buddy would be very good for her...goats are herd animals and do much better with a buddy...
as for a quick check up
Rub her all over check for lumps bumps and boo boo's
the red hair on her thigh and flared tail end suggest she is copper defeciant...
Have a fecal done ASAP to see if she needs worming...
check her eyes for anemia...just pull that bottle eye lid down and rill it a bit..you want to see deep pink to red
trim her hooves if needed : )

best wishes
