Unfortunately most of the times they can die if not checked and have intense nutritional support. I would recommend to have her checked by your local veterinarian and discuss the best course of action. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
