Pregnant doe becoming skinny! Help!

[WyoBunnies]

My pregnant doe is becoming so skinny all ever except her belly! What can i give her to plump her back up? I'm becoming very concerned. I have been feeding her all she wants of grass hay, pellets and greens with occasional carrots, cucumbers, apple slices from our tree and other fruits. I read TUMS and old fashioned oatmeal can help so i gave her 1 TUMS and a little scoop of oatmeal, today.
I've never had a pregnant doe become this boney while pregnant before.

How would she have gotten a parasite? None of my other rabbits are skinny/ill. She is also an indoor rabbit.

even indoor pets need wormed occasionally, they come in on your feet... or in the rabbit food,vegetables, or hay - anything that has had contact with soil

Rapid weight loss is often due to dehydration. Make sure her water bottle is functioning.

She is definitely drinking water. I fill her bottle daily. She is due to kindle any day. She is huge in the belly and she is nesting, shes also extra cranky. Lol

I would give her allium family plants for a few days,[onions or garlic] if it is cocci, it will knock it out in a few days. Garlic will reduce worm populations without hurting her. If she has parasites she will readily eat onions, or garlic, - if she doesn't, she won't eat very much.
