13. She'll start showing signs of jaundice

if she's getty FLD. Her skin (look at her inner ears) and the whites of her eyes will get yellowish. Since it's stress related, they can try giving her an injection of an antianxiety medication like Valium to get her to eat, but obviously that's just a stop gap.

I hope she starts to eat. Try baby food meat, or those Churu lickable treats.
