I'll start of by saying that my EA doe is still very active, her poops are normal, and she seems quite healthy except for the fact that she is losing weight. I don't have a scale so I'm not sure how much but her spine is feeling bonier.
She used to eat 1/3 c of 18% protein pellets every morning and another 1/3 c at night with 2 Tbsp of either boss or mixed seed added. She has never been a big hay eater unless I give her no choice but to eat it by not giving her anything else (which I was doing once a week until I thought she was pregnant). She gets a couple of little dried fruit treats a day and I occasionally give some herbs or veggies (and pineapple).
Now she is barely touching her morning feed (eats maybe half) and, like I said, is looking thinner and feeling bonier. She has had a pile of hay on the floor of her cage for 2 days and hasn't touched it. She still finishes her night feed.
It hasn't been overly warm here (we're in Calgary, Alberta). She is indoors and we did have a couple of days where it got over 30 degrees C in the house, but she never seemed troubled by the heat. She did have two false pregnancies back to back (not sure if that could affect her appetite).
What should I be looking for? What can I feed her to try and get her weight back up?
