Discontinue feeding milk. Offer high fiber foods such as timothy hay and similar grasses. Commercial pellets can be offered in small amounts. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites. Make sure she continues to eat and drink to prevent gut stasis and dehydration. If she stops eating, have her examined or rechecked by a veterinarian immediately.
