Re: Feed advice
Yes I would drop down the protein. Feeding to much protein can cause them the start getting outside their skeleton and also they can tighten up. Depending on how much muscle you may consider dropping to a 18% or 16%.

Re: Need 15-20 pounds in 7 days
I know that I am late but I would get away from feeding cups and start looking at the actual LB's of the feed. You could switch up your worming regimen by using safeguard 1 month and then ivermec the next. Also if you are trying to gain weight pull the oats and replace it with base feed as the oats ...

Yogurt works as a good probiotic when they wont eat. She probably wont eat until you get something in her stomach.
