On Tuesday of this week the runt stopped showing interest in food. She would eat but slowly and unenthusiastically. Wednesday she began showing interest again and ate like a little pig. Thursday, again, she stopped showing interest. She looks very frail and seems lethargic. When compared to the other two she seems so much smaller. She is still going to the bathroom normally. He bm's are soft and a mustard color.
This mornings feeding I managed to get her to eat a full serving however it took quite a while while. Now she is showing zero interest in food and her bowl movement is slighly wet, closer to a diarreah rather than a solid.
I would like to get some advise before I take her to a facility who will just take her and keep her.
I have checked for all the typical things that I have read on other posts. She doesn't appear to be dehydrated (can that happen after being normal for this long), she does not make any clicking noises when eating.
