Hey guys I'll try and make this short as possible.I found an igg last dec.Not much of an appetite then. I took her to a vet, and she said her color was bad and she needed some weight. She turned down most solid foods, so I started to force feed her baby food. After about a month things looked really good. She picked up weight and got her color back.Then I found out why she looked so good.She laid 27 eggs.Back to skinny again.After that ordeal she really had a taste for greens.I kept her outside during the spring,summer,and fall.Temp ranges from 75-95.I brought her inside in november.If it gets in the 70's and sunny I'll put her out for a little while.Her appetite was ok in november and dec.Now within the last week it's pretty much nonexistent.Even in nov.@dec. she didn't have much discharge.Last year was basically the same way.Only then she was
plump with eggs ,and not skinny like now.Also she is a little touchy around the hind quarters.From the bottom of the rib cage to the hind legs.Also last year I had her out back in the garden where she kept trying to dig a hole for her eggs.I had know idea what she was doing at he time.Now I no.I put her in the same place this time , but she wasn't interested.I think I need to make a trip to the vet.ANY SUGGESTIONS?
