she has lost 250gs in 3 months. She is still eating and bright. However, she was Mirtle's (RIP) sister and I think she is developing the same problem.


Going to monitor her pow-pow

Sorry to hear that. How old is Gertie? 250g is a lot of weight to lose, even across 3 months.

She is suppost to be 2 years old, but I think she may be older. I am just going to monitor her and see what happens. She still seems interested in food and doesn't look in any pain. I could tell with Mirtle.@)

Thank you for that. Will book her in ASAP. Might be worth it because she has put 2g of weight back on.
