Sounds like Jayla needs to be dewormed. I would obtain a broad spectrum deworming such as strongid or panacur (both available over the counter). Alternatively, you can obtain a fecal sample and have your veterinarian assess it for which type of parasites are present. If the parasite are something atypical, a less common type of dewormer may be required to get the job done. Hope this makes sense.
