Thought i'd sign in and give an update on Harriet seeing as though you've been kind enough to offer advice. I went to her first thing this morning (dreading it as I have done every morning for the last couple of days) and thankfully she was still going strong....and actually seemed a lot brighter. She had eaten some more of her food overnight and her water bottle level had gone down which was a positive sign. She even decided to get out of her bed and go the top of her home...where she normally sits when she gets her treats!

Her breathing had settled down quite a bit and she just generally looked a lot better in herself, so I am wondering wether she had picked up a cold - especially as my husband has been poorly with the flu.

I checked the sawdust bag and unfortunately the part with the description label had been cut away (we buy BIG bags as we also use it for the two rabbits and two guinea pigs). However, as it is getting low I will definately check out the content more when I go to buy the next lot in a couple of days time.

Thank you for all your help, it is appreciated. I just hope she is now on the mend and will continue to stay with me for a while longer.
