How is Joy this morning? Hope she finally slept and you too.

Hoping you and Joy are doing well this morning.

We are, thank you both. How are yall? Joy is bright eyed & bushy tailed this morning, woke up with 1 thing on her mind..... FOOD!!!
I do have a question tho, Joy has often taken a drink of water & had a little run from her nares. But since yesterday, Every sip she takes, she has bubbling & leakage from both nares, then a little running for the next 30min to an hour. Is this ok? Normal? Just hoping shes not sick, or getting there, especially with Baytril in her system. Thanks so much!! Hope you're both having a Great day so far.

Good Morning! I love that she has an appetite but the leakage from the snares I cannot give any advice as I have not dealt with that before. @casportpony and @Miss Lydia are much more experienced in these things. Hoping she keeps growing and can get this walking thing down.

Usually clear water running out isn't cause for alarm dunking there nares into water causes it. I've never timed how long mine do it though. But if she is hungry and bright eyed I wouldn't worry. How'd she do over night in her contraption?

Well, in all honesty, she didnt make it thru the whole night wrapped up. At about 1am, still awake, I decided to give her a snack, thought a full belly would help her rest. I started feeding her, while wrapped, and she threw her 1st bite right back up. She did drink ALOT of water right before so wasnt sure if it was the water, or being "all squished together". I let her stretch her legs, before I could wrap her back up, she was out!! So, I fed her this morning & wrapped her back up, I'm pretty sure shes sleeping now. About to check on her again. I'm sorry.

What are you sorry about? She’s your baby. Just remember the more she’s wrapped the better it may work. But we def don’t want her throwing up.

I just feel like I'm failing everything. Her legs are getting worse. I KNOW that wrapping her is good for her but I canNOT stop thinking shes in pain or uncomfortable. Before, she would at least partially stand on her feet & hop like crazy, attempt walking with slow steps, now, she cant even stand. I just wish I knew how to help her better.

Are you still using the walker for exercise? Might have to strap her in it to keep her from flipping out. She won’t try an stand at all when she isn’t wrapped?

Yes, were doing the walker everyday. I "installed" a strap after the 1st day because she was pushing so much and was afraid of her flipping out. But no, not so much anymore.
