Yes, I'm back again. I know I tend to easily stress about little problems. But this next one does concern me. Maybe I'm stressing too early but I want to make sure.
I have a doe who is 3 weeks pregnant(palpated positive). Early this week, I think Sunday or Monday, she stopped eating her pellets. Normally she would gobble them down, and can't get enough, especially when she's pregnant. I haven't even increased her food. I buy pellets from the feed shop, and this last time the feed is different(as in smaller pellet, not sure if the ingredients are different), but she had been eating it normally for almost a week. But now she barely touches them. She's still been eating a handful of hay and some sunflower seeds every day, and she'll eat grass. She also ate a piece of carrot. But not the pellets. I tried leaving in just pellets for a day, and she ate like one bite, but that's it, and she acted starving. She had been a nice good weight, a bit skinny but with a good layer over the spine. Now her spine is sharp feeling, so I know she's getting thin.
She is still pooping, but not like she should be.
She is still active.
Is she just being extremely finicky or are my suspicions correct and there is a problem?
