It is possible that she has a parasite. Have you taken a stool sample and her to the vet? I would have to say that I would give it a good college try. I am the type of person who would fight as hard as I could. But please!!! Get her into a vet. You could also try to give her a little yogurt in the mean time to help bind her up. Try the plain, but if she won't eat it, try it with mixed berries. She really needs a vet ASAP! Get her too one as fast as you can..

Best of luck....

: HI everyone.. first off thank you Donna and Cheri for your advice and support... I swear I cant hold her or look at her w/o crying... she is so little and just looks at you so sadly with her little eyes, its simply heartbreaking!!! I'm still working on feeding her, the problem is its hard to really get her to take all that much milk, let alone the milk & baby cereal mix... so I think at least for now leadbeaters of any consistancy would be out of the question ( but I am going to try it with her sister ) the new problem is that she has a bright orange/yellow diarrhea now, what should I do... I realize I'm doing the best I can and trying very hard but I feel so helpless and she seems to be giving up her fight, I almost wonder if I'm doing the right thing by trying so hard or if I'm merely dragging out her pain....

: thanks for listening, and for any advice

: Sincerely,
