bleh doe.

Not sure what is up with Whiskey Girl. Eyelid color looks good. Appetite is good. She just looks like she was up all night partying. She is 3mos preggo at this point. After losing Gypsy this week, I'm a bit gun shy at this point. Any ideas?

Can you be a bit more specific about symptoms?

Eyelid color?

Worming history?

Feeding history?

Yes we need more info.

Have you wormed her? Had fecals done? The eyelid color (FAMACHA) is a good tool to use for bloodsucking worms, but it was never meant to be used as the sole indicator of a worm overload. FAMACHA only indicates the levels of anemia caused by bloodsucking worms. Other worms can cause problems, too. (Also anemia can be caused by other things).

If she were mine I'd start minimally with supplementations, like nutridrench & probios until I figured out her symptoms & a possible cause.
