I have a male Pueblan milk, about 4 years old, housed with his female. He's always been thin, but this season has refused more meals than usual, is getting pretty thin, and the last few weeks has been exhibiting a strange twisting behavior -- he'll curl around himself, usually more so on the front portion of his body. Almost looks like snakes sometimes do when they're trying to remove a shed. Is there some pathology that exhibits these sorts of symptoms?
