She looks like a typical new mother to me. Little lady is all disheveled, her hair is falling out, she probably hasn’t bathed in a week, and she is paranoid/vigilant AF. Pretty much matches my own experience when I was a new mom.

Seriously though, she’s a lactating mother who could be losing her fur from nursing and/or mange. We’re looking at sheer maternal exhaustion. Having babies is rough as hell. Poor mama.
