That is a possibility. When I mentioned the mites they said they had no idea, but at this point they've lost all credibility with me so... Reached out the the breeder and he never noticed anything. My mind jumps to IBD (seeing as it's generally understood to be transmitted via mites), but I am not too sure how common IBD is in American collections (may be just my luck). If it was genetic I'd be more at ease, but it's good to know that there aren't any know problems with the cow morph.
Like I said, the female is completely fine. They're both quarantined until I figure out what is going on. They're both eating fine and I am treating them for the mites. Vet visit this week to do labs and get to the bottom of this whole thing.
Thank you for your knoweldge!
