I'm happy to say that our little pup, Chuckie, is no longer having any problems. Her posture is back to normal. There's no more hunching of her back or walking around with her four legs close together. Her fur has smoothed out, too, now that her back isn't arched. The DriTail also appears to have worked very well. She eats quite a bit and runs around as much -- or more -- than her two little friends. In fact, she's become the most social of the three (which is saying a lot!) and loves to hop right out of the cage and into our hands. My boys have built the little ones an enclosed playground and they love running around and investigating everything. The boys *and* the gerbils, that is! ;-) I wish I knew exactly what Chuckie's problem had been. Stress? Allergy? Combination of the two? Whatever it was, it came and went very quickly. Thank goodness! The new Carefresh bedding that we put in has also become a great source of entertainment for her and her friends. They've created a 'basement' in the cage by tunnelling through the bedding. The tunnels go from one side of the cage nearly to the opposite side. They go down on one end and pop-up on the other! Too funny. Kathy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo! Mail. http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
