Hi All, sorry for the lack of updates on Willow it has been very busy here with her.
Willow is doing much better and goes back to the vets today. But I wanted to raise some concerns I have with her to all of you and then to the vet tonight.
Willow still will only eat mush. Either a tiny bit fed to her or a lot more if its put out for her. She will eat very little veggies and I have tried poking soaked pellets into her mouth but she spits them out. Also we are still having to give her water as none of us have seen her go to either of the water bottles. She barely comes out of her igloo as it seems to be her safty blanket and freaks out if we take it out. I understand its scary to her to not be able to hardly see, we arent expecting anything overnight. But this is really causing issues for Faith her friend. She seems to be blocking faith into the igloo and Faith is fighting a RI now and has not been eating as much. Willow has always been the dominate one of the two and Faith follows her every move. It seems its not getting any better at all for us no matter how hard we are trying.
We have a 4x4 grid C&C cage, would we be better to seperate the 2 since they can still see each other and focus on the two individually? Faith will eat if Willow is taken out of the area and she feels she has a moment of time on her own. Although I have not seen her drinking as much and have been giving her water as well.
I feel like a terrible mother, I am over tired as well as my partner and friend are as well. We need some serious advice. We have tried letting them have floor time but Willow freaks out and Faith will not leave her side. Is there and way we can make Willow feel more at ease?
