REPLIED to Info Request

Is she still in with the male? If not, when was the last time she was around him?

Do you give her a daily vitamin C supplement?

What type of bedding is she on?

May I ask what state you are in? I have a few idea's of what's going on, but the state/area would give me a better idea.
