Her vulva does not look enlarged. The hair loss goes down her spine
from behind her front shoulder blades. She has some hair at the base
of her tail, but is very thin beyond that.
Her skin, looks good, I think. It is white with a little pink hue to
it. I am worried about fleas, but I only found the one when she was
outside.
How long do you think it would take to get her body back up to a high
nutrition level?
