As stated in the title, I lost my favorite doe today. I just couldn't bring myself to do an autopsy though. It all started yesterday afternoon when I brought her inside because she was getting way too hot despite my best efforts. I slowly let her cool down on the hardwood floors. I noticed when I picked her up to bring her in she looked bloated and had weepy eyes. I gave her gas drops after she cooled off to try and get rid of the bloating. Along with the drops I messaged her stomach a bit and had her hop around the living room. It seemed it was helping, but I had to get to bed for work so I set her up in a pen indoors with only hay and water available to her. This morning she seemed out of it. She would panick and grunt/whine when I picked her up, and her eyes wouldn't focus on anything. She was also casually going in circles this morning. She'd move a few steps and stop for a moment. Over and over she did this in a circle. There was no signs of bowel movement in her cage litter so I gave her some pro biotics, and after about an hour I gave her 4ccs of mineral oil before I headed to work in an attempt to get her gut moving. I came home to find her streatched out as if she was napping, but dead. She was a 1yr old doe that had weaned off a litter almost 2 weeks ago. Any ideas of what could have happened to her?
