To everyone who wrote w/ suggestions & advice re: how to care for Hope w/ her current illness, we just wanted to say THANKS! If we didn't respond to you individually, we sincerely apologize - we got such a great response & so many replies to our request for help, that we began losing track of where we were at! Forgive our negligence - please! :) For now, we have her secluded in her own cage, and eating a diet which will hopefully help her to put on some weight. We're still trying to absorb all of the info. re: ADV, etc., to get an idea what is actually wrong, so we'll know where to go from there. At any rate, THANKS again, and we'll write more if/when we need additional support. Sincerely, Sue & Craig w/ Bo, Hope, Jasper "SunBear" & Shiloh [Posted in FML issue 4019]
