A. Hi parent It could be the sign of insufficient feeding Please keep her fingers clean. (but dont use senitizer or antibacterials , just lukewarm water will do ) Take sunbath daily with her head and ears covered You may take leptadene tablets twice a day with glass of milk daily for four weeks. Don't use RO water Take probiotics and millets rich diet (mom)
