Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

I have five more questions: 1) What are the most common internal parasites that chucks are most likely to have? 2) If it does turn out that she has parasites, and she's treated for them, what meds might also cause the destruction of the beneficial gut fauna? 3) If beneficial gut fauna are eliminated by administering meds, then, would the only practical way to replace the exact species of beneficial gut fauna be to get the chuck to eat the feces of another adult chuck? 4) What species of beneficial gut fauna have been identified in chucks? and 5)Are there probiotics (name or names of product/products?) that contain all of those species? I don't expect any one person to know the answers to all of these questions, but collectively, all of you should do a pretty good job at answering them.

Thanks again,
Perry
