Mama Doe
she's not eating well at all. last night i put down some brocolli, she was picking it up and trying to bite but not managing it - then she would drop it and there were lots of teeth marks on it. i tried to hand feed her some herbs, which she took. its really hard cos moe thinks what shes got is better than his, so will take it from her mouth. she ate a little bit, but you can't hear her chew. she's pooing; but they're small and dark.
this morning tried her with some pellets- put moses in the run outside cos he was just getting in the way and getting shouted out to move (poor guy he doesn't know) - she took a few, and it was clear she wanted more, so decided enough was enough - got the pellets, some herds and a little hay with water and blended together, and feed her with the syringe. this worked really well (apart from the hay kept clogging the syringe :roll and she took alot of that. she's now in the garden. i think I'm going to hold off on the vet for a bit and see how she goes.
but this isn't good is it. it might be cos her mouth is sore but the vet said we caught the problem early.
