Welcome!!

Have you wormed her----if she is loaded with worms---she will never get better until they are gone. "Mine" like that were loaded with tape worms---they eat good till right up to when they could not go anymore---falling over or just laying. It takes a "better" wormer for tape worms so In my opinion I do not worm them with the "other" wormer---just use the better to start with. I use fenbendazole---it will get them. If you have not wormed her and want to use that---just ask we will tell you what to do.
