Charlie is 10 months old, however he looks to be around 3 months old. He is just not growing an inch. He is on exactly the same formula as three previous blacks were hand reared on from birth. I know from records, he had a sister a few years back who too was stunted and sadly died, so I am guessing it could be genetic. Charlie is losing condition now, he needs something but I do not know what and I am looking to see if any of you guys have any ideas or have come across this before. Perhaps someone has the contacts of a good Large Game vet who I could write to. I would love to save this little chap, as he is so lovely, but we are in Kenya and resources are limited. Any Ideas? Thanks VWA
