Hello all,
You were so helpful and comforting when my doe, Poppy, struggled after her spay op but she eventually came through the other side and is now seemingly healthy and happy. She recently had her first flystrike treatment of the season at the vet and a check up, weight was fine etc.
Since her spay she has finally potty trained (thank goodness!!). She’s peeing and pooping normally though sometime has soft poop overnight (not runny / very liquid but not cacetropes either). She’s now 100% free roaming and seems happy, binkying away and snoozing near us etc - though still not a cuddler!
Here’s my issue: she has never been particularly fond of eating hay and still either nibbles a little bit or ignores it completely. I’m changing her Timothy hay twice a day and peppering it with a tiny amount of herb mix for smell and interest. She most certainly isn’t eating a ball of hay the size or herself each day!! I’ve reduced her nuggets and veggies a fair bit to try to ‘force’ her to her hay but I’m anxious about her not eating enough of anything and her having tummy issues. What would your recommendations be?
Thanks in advance!
