She got so bad she was just sitting on the floor with her head hanging down. It happened in a matter of like 2 hours. She made no protest when I picked her up. She collasped in my hand. I really thought she was dying. I cried buckets while my husband phoned for vets. Amazingly after a half hour she "woke up" so I put her back in her cage. The towel, lamp, and lots of millet seemed to help. She went on meds after that. She finally seems 100%. So to digress. I hope your little guy gets better. Summer Link to comment
