    Thanks, Cindy.

    So far, she can stand but can't walk. She has no interest in food or water. ALL DAY! I have taken her outside, she peed once, that is all.

    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    Thanks, Elyse. Normal course, it takes 2 weeks for the body to adapt and adjust to whatever has stopped working.

    Poor baby Sugar. I pray that she gets to feeling better soon. It's
    so upsetting when one of the little ones is ailing.

    I'm now hand feeding Sugar every 3 hours. And carrying her outside to do business.

    She can stand, but her legs are splayed, bracing herself so she doesn't fall. Walking it a few tiny steps and she falls splat! Her eyes are still jumping.

    Just need to nurse her through until this passes.
