Hello

I just wanted to give you an update on Ceira's condition.
After taking her back to the Vets on Monday (10-16)..I was
sent home a mild sedative..The frist night It didnt seem to
work. As I feel Im not getting her to take her meds well..She
is hard to handle. Mainly the fear for me is holding her the
wrong way...or doing more harm to her then good...This
morning I got her from her cage and she said " Hi, Kiss ME! "
Those were her first two words she has said with in the last
few weeks of her being sick...That made me smile..She is
still twitching with her feet. But not as much as she
was..Now my problem is getting her to eat her vegetables and
fruit. She has been only eating her apples. This morning I
gave her some kidney beans and oatmeal. She ate one bean and
went for the oatmeal..I will keep trying more things on her
through the day...I took another day off from work to be with
her...My boss is not happy..But oh WELL....My animals are my
babies.
I want to thank all three of you for your suggestions.

Thank You

Summer and Ceira
