Hi guys, sorry I haven't been around much, we have had one heck of a week..and not all good..Lost a calf to bloat, and someone ran my cat over ..I have a lot of m essages to catch up on.

In the meantime, I have been noticing lately Eris is loosing so much weight. She is so thin now that you can see the top part of her bones above her tail on her back. Gums are nice and pink, I just checked them. She was wormed (by recomondation of our vet) with Dectomax about 3 days before she had the c-section. She doesn't seem like she is slowing down any or not feeling good. Her kid is will be 3 weeks old on Wednesday, and she is starting to push him off when he tries to feed..

Any suggestions as to why this might be happening? Like I said she does not seem as though she looks week or drawn, but if there is a problem I want to catch it immediatly before something does go wrong..Please help.

PS No kids for Jessie yet..I think she is holding them in..
