Hey guys I had gotten a chin a few months ago, that was in poor health pretty sure had ringworm. Well I've noticed for about a month that she had a hump back and before that she wouldn't eat. Lately I have put her on a first of hay and I plan to take her to the vet. Would anyone be able to tell me what to expect?
 
There is not much a vet can do for hunchback. It can be caused by anorexia, poor diet, etc. leading to liver disease. They could do an internal organ function (IOF) blood panel to test the liver values to tell you if she has liver disease or not, but that's about it. Treatment is getting the chin on a good healthy diet of high quality pellets and hay. Is she eating now?
 
Hey, so good news guys! He's actually not hunchback he's just standing on all fours a little hunched over probably due to being uncomfortable. He has a cut on the corner of his eye and I'm not sure what I can do for him. Sorry for the late reply.
