Well, it looks to me like the older babies are doing much better,
although one still rubs her nose occasionally.  But no clicking!
However, the smallest of the 2 week old babies is clicking.  I'm giving
it a tiny, tiny drop of the medicine 2x per day.  I sure hope it makes
it.  I can't tell whether or not the mom is feeding it.  I *think* she
is, because she looks after it in other ways.  I push it back into her
nest whenever I get the opportunity.  It's fur looks nice, but it does go
around with its mouth open some, and - although it can move fast - it
seems a little unsteady at times.  I suppose the virus could give it some
inner ear imbalance?  Or is an unsteady gait just typical for a 2 wk. old
baby?  The other 2 wk. old gerbils are quite robust.  This sick baby is
the one who was only a little bigger than the runt who died.
