It is a strange thing. Esther, my trouble run-about speedster has started "smacking" her mouth, as if she has a ball of hair inside (maybe she does, I dunno). Her poop rate is normal, regular-colored, and solid. Her activity level is still more than both my males combined. Her appetite is fine. Healthy coat, but gonna have to wash those tail-blackheads soon. I just moved into a carpeted bedroom, as opposed to the hardwood floor they had for the past 3 years. What's the deal with Esther's dry mouth? Paranoid? I was thinking blockage but she doesn't paw at her mouth. Thanks for any advice (and to those of you who helped with Jerry's adrenalectomy, thanks!!! he's doing great, albeit still a little bald-butt=]) ******************************************************* *** Mark A.
