been watching bluebel she has a slightly dirty bottom but i've not seen any abnormal poohs.
but she does sit in the one she does loose occasionaly ( caecotrophs) she doesn't always eat them.
she tends to sit or lay in them so over the week i have been bathing it every second day and is now nearly all gone.
why does she not eat them or clean herself of them.
i am so pleased that although she gets anxious when i do wash her bottom but she forgives me straight after so i give her a little treat and a stroke and nose rub.
i just use tepid water in a small bowl and a soft sponge to dab clean.
hope i am doing the right thing.
am now going to keep a cloose eye and only feed her a little pellets in morning and plenty of hay for a week to see how she goes just in case she has an upset tum.
please correct me if i am doing this wrong

the other two girls are fine.

Does she have Pro-C in her water? That is fantastic for helping to prevent the sticky poos.
