Thanks Ryan, shes rounding nicely on her shoulder and quarters now and her neck is feeling slightly better but the belly looks to be getting hug, think about giving pro-bioctics to aid digestive system something like pink powder im thinking but not sure shes not gassy and her bellies not firm...

She really wasnt in good shape at all Debbie, i'd say she was maybe 1-2 body score her neck felt terrible, but she is making progress and think a couple more weeks she'll be a nice weight just will take a little while longer to build some muscle but we have some lovley hills to climb i think...
