    Correction...she will be 3 years old next month. Thank you very much for responding to my inquiry! I am in the East Bay Area and not keen on spending $ for a vet at this point. I did see a dark red fleshy looking piece when hosing out the run yesterday. I wasn't sure if it was leftover fruit...
