She hasn't been with me long enough to determine if she likes my company or not. Inside she is near my little run with my handreared baby bunnies. She seems to like staring at them. I will try the mashed blueberries. I didn't think of that. My plan is to put her into the outside isolation pen...
She was completely on her own living in a bush at the hospital car park. The staff were feeding her human food. I think that might be part of the issue as well. Her respiratory illness has gotten better. Her face is no longer swollen. But she does look a little bit jaundiced/yellow to me. But I...
