Poor Kiko! Jaundice is usually by either liver dysfunction or destruction of red blood cells. The doctor will run some blood work to determine which is present and then determine appropriate treatment. You are doing the right thing by having her seen quickly. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
