So I have a doe named Turtle who ended up with some pretty serious sore hocks, at first I tried just keeping her cage cleaned (Which ended up become a daily task) So I gave her a box to sit in, a box with some hay that I cleaned out daily so she wasn't sitting in her own filth. Well eventually she peed in the box so many times the bottom fell out, this is when she got put into a new cage. After putting her in the new cage I also gave her a wide plank to sit on *Which she did use* but her heels weren't really healing (I kinda assumed they were since she was being more active) I picked her up the other day after thinking she was dead in her cage, she was so skinny, she must not have been eating nearly enough between the foot injury and having 6 kits to share food with. She's inside now, has a cage lined with towels and she has a nice soft blanket she likes to lay on. But I still feel more of her ribs and spine than I would care too and I'd like to give her something a bit more fattening once every few days just to add on the extra weight. I was thinking of mixing some oats in molasses and see if she'll eat it but am kinda wondering how much to feed and what proportions. Any help would be appreciated
By the way her sore hocks are almost completely healed although she will likely remain indoors until she has grown some fur to cover her heels or when I get vetrap to wrap her feet up.
