I am happy to report Mutton Chops seems to be back to normal...what a relief! When I awoke to get ready for work I put my ear to the utility room door and didn't hear anything. I really thought she had passed but decided to wait until I was done getting ready for work to check. When I opened the door in total darkness I heard her sweet little coo-coos! She had no abnormal sounds, no apparent breathing distress, so I decided to put her back outside since 1.) I would be gone for 10 hours and figured she'd be happier with her flock instead of lonely scary room, and 2.) the difference in outside temp to the utility room temp was only 15 degrees, where as it would have been much more by evening. My boyfriend will be checking on her between 1:00 and 2:00 this afternoon, so I will update again. I tend to be a pessimist so I don't feel she is completely out of the woods yet.
Is it possible her muscles relaxed enough when she slept to allow the foreign object to move? I didn't see anything in the crate except 6 healthy poops.
So glad to hear she is better!
