A very belated update on Diva. With not many things changing in her life, I find there is little to update on. She continues to fail to gain significant weight, at her last weigh in about 4 weeks ago, she had gained 6 pounds, leaving her still about 40 pounds underweight for her age. She shows a definite lack of muscling. She has not started to show any signs yet of loss of motor control.
To one who is not looking for signs of a genetic disorder she appears to be a stunted kid. Failing to grow at the same rate as her herd mates. she still jumps, runs and plays. Rambunctious and gentle with the new kids in the herd. She is always very attentive to the kids, and curious about them. It is sad that she will never have kids of her own to nurture.
She does have a more blocky head shape now.
She continues to have a happy life here.
