She seems to be back to normal. Tonight drank her bottle and then ran to the pellet dish with the others to eat. Saw her consume some. Now stretches tonight, so hopefully the probiotics was it.
We have 4 cats...3 are indoor/outdoor cats in the seasons where weather permits and 1 strictly indoor by her choice. All are big babies when it comes to humans. They just don't take any crap from the dogs.
@Southern by choice , yes they all are. @babsbag , Not sure how this would apply as they have been exposed to grass and browse from 4 -5 weeks, milk amounts have been decreasing as of last week & yesterday, grain amount has been the same for the last two weeks.
She is doing better this am...

@Bruce , Actually turns out there was a small piece of a raw hide treat he decided he wanted. As far as the school goes, right...by time they get started here it will be time to get out for the summer.
Took the babies out with the older girls for a little while. I think the babies would be ok...
7:30 pm, evening chores done, dinner out of the way & dishes washed. The grand kids are outside playing and I am winding down from the day. DD and I managed to get the yard finished & I was able to plant some flowers Doreen received as Mother's Day gifts. Tomorrow I am hoping to rake this...
@Bruce , @Wehner Homestead is correct. The she is my oldest daughter. The grand kids I am fighting for are my oldest son's. That is still in appeal's court. Could take up to six months from filing date to get an answer there.
Yesterday: I got everything accomplished on my to do list except for...
Yesterday: After morning chores, we got the house cleaned, got the backyard finished on mowing and trimming & started the side yard. This yard is huge and I just don't have the energy to do all of it in one day in the hot sun anymore.
We also picked up the paper work necessary to enroll the kids...
Wow!, the last two weeks have been a mind spinner. My Mom was gravely ill again. Her remaining kidney was going bonkers and starting to shut down, her heart was giving her difficulties and she had fluid around her lungs. Almost two weeks in the hospital. Thought we were going to loose her there...
When I did have Nigerians, they all where use to collars and leashes. I would use those to tether only at feeding time to be sure each was getting what they needed. My girls got a cup of 16% pellets with AC each day, 3-4 months got 1/2 cup, and bucks & wethers got 1/2 cup of pellets, plus I...
@Baymule , thank you for the suggestion. The heal of my foot is becoming quite painful. @Bruce , a thank you to you as well. It looks like a may be making an investment. @CntryBoy777 , Storm has several kong type toys, a few harder plastic type bones & a few harder rubber balls. He just fell in...
@Bruce , I do not have a post puller. If the help doesn't show up in the next day or so, I will wrestle with the darn things until I get them out. That is how it's done here, I was taught to ask for help if needed, but if help was not to be found then figure it out on your own.
