There has been so much sadness lately that I am very worried. Last night I woke up to find Courtney sitting on a chair in front of the cage sound asleep. I asked her this morning, and she said she had a bad dream about him and woke up. She wanted to watch him for a while and fell asleep. Broke my heart.

Has Dr. R checked his heart recently?

No. I have an appointment on Tuesday and that was one of the things I was going to ask him to check. It is the only thing I can think of besides URI.

Now that I have Scooter in a cage by himself, I can see how much he is eating...or not eating. He always dives right in. I gave him veggies right before I went to bed. When I got up later for his hand feeding, he had barely eaten anything. I am going to up his hand feedings to every 3 hours.

I am really worried. Scooter is now under 800 grams. He has lost 80 grams in 24 hours. I am hand feeding him every 3 hours.

This is so worrying. What time is your appointment tomorrow?

Not till 2:40. Dr. R is in surgery until 2:00. I am going to go up early to see if they will squeeze me in. Iam so scared hewon't make it through the night. He is now longer active.

I know you're doing all you can. I hope things turn around for him.
