I had posted about this I believe a few weeks back but I’ve followed what everyone has said. And no quill isn’t a lazy big. I’m worried about her. She’s very skinny only an inch thick. I’ve done everything you guys have said but I’m so worried about this little piggy she’s become more friendly and enjoys being in my lap. But I’ve been giving her bum a good clean every day but I don’t want to stress her out. Here’s what her stomach looks like

Sorry - I remember part of your original thread.
Did you go to a vet?
What was said?
 
Sorry, the picture is not visible. Has she been seen by a vet and what did they say?

You need to see a vet ASAP as a life/death emergency!

Please be aware that we simply cannot replace a vet visit and a hands-on examination. We can only tell you when and how soon to see a vet as well as support your care at home during medical vet treatment.

Apart from seeing a vet, have you been weighing Quill regularly over the last few weeks to monitor her food intake by weighing daily and stepping in with syringe feeding in order to prevent her digestive system from slowing down and eventually closing down as she has been clearly and very obviously losing a lot of weight during that time?
Which together with the recommended vet visit has been in our advice as well as in the links you have been given.
