Possible sick baby zebra
Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:51 pm
I have a baby zebra (almost 6 weeks old), who may be sick. On sunday, we separated the three babies from mom and dad, as mom was getting aggressive toward the little ones and they all neede more space. They have been eating and drinking on their own since then and are all very active.
However, this morning, I noticed that one of the babies seems to be breathing heavily, and is puffed up. She is eating and drinking and pretty active, though maybe not quite as active as the other two; it is hard to say.
Any suggestions as to what this might be?
I also noticed that she may have lost a couple tail feathers, though I don't know if this is related....
Any help will be appreciated.
