poor love..

you might want to look at getting a blood test done, in case there is any dietary deficiency, checking her blood values against what the recommended "norm" is, would not be a bad idea.

you could also get a fecal done at the same time, sort of a bit like a spring MOT for her i guess

update: shes eating very well, parsnips, carrots, broccoli, peppers, apples, bananas locust are all in her diet at some point (not all at once lol) her neck seems to be getting better but its hard to tell, guna give it another week before i do anything. sombody bought up a very good point and i wanted to check it out with u guys before i do it.
can i used front line spray on her? if it is indeed a mite problem then could this work?
