    Off to the Vet.

    One of my rescued females(Gilly) has developed a hard area about 3 inches up from her cloaca. I think it's the beginning of a blockage so she's got a Vet. appointment this morning. She's eating and active which is a good sign but I don't want to let this become a big problem. If they have to remove it I'll try to get video. She's probably going to need an enema. Poor girl.

    I just got her out for the trip(short one) and the hard area seems to have dissipated some. I may be jumping the gun but will take her over anyway. Better safe than sorry.

    That was quick, painless and no charge. The Vet. thinks whatever it is, it will pass soon.
    She's back home with her group. I was out of there within 5 minutes of parking.

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    I was going to say good luck, but I guess I'll say great news instead.
