Open the EPUB in Sigil or Calibre's Editor.
You can then look at the exact HTML inside of the book.
So let's say your first few footnotes say something like this in your Print book:
Code:
1 This is the first footnote.
2 This is the second footnote.
You can open the EPUB and search for that text, it should lead you in the correct location.
In the HTML, you may see something like this:
and in the CSS, you can post the whole thing.
Side Note: Another thing is you can create a sample EPUB with you problem in it:
1. Delete a lot of the text, leaving just a paragraph + a few footnotes.
2. Attach it to your next post.
We could then easily take apart the EPUB and see what the heck is going on.

What most likely happened is InDesign created very ugly code to auto-number the footnotes... (which is extremely unreliable across devices).
Need to see your exact HTML + CSS of your footnotes in order to make a determination though.
Side Note: If I'm going to take a quick guess, each footnote is probably buried in <ol> with lots of ugly CSS attached to it.
