So here we are at one week, Puff is starting to eat a bit better and her weight was at 301 grams today. She still lost but much less then the last few days, so hopefully we have turned a corner. Also, she still hasn't chewed those two feathers on her chest and I see a few new ones coming in, so we will see how it goes. I've also noticed a few body feathers have come out as well. As I'm observing I did notice Mylo in the last week has been more hormonal and pushing his limits with her and maybe yesterday she just had enough, let's hope. I'm keeping close watch on them both and making sure a good distance is kept. She still naps a bit but it is nothing major and is less each day.
OK, well no weight loss or gain, either way that is quite the improvement. She is being a bit more lively and fiesty today as well. I asked her to step up and she gave me one foot and not the other, and chose to bite my finger. Not hard but enough to let me know she had an opinion about me moving too fast for likeness. It may not seem like much but to me it is huge, she is alert enough to not just comply with whatever and let me know she was unhappy about something. This is not something I have seen since starting this process and until it happened I didn't even realize it was missing. So making this little change seems to have made a big difference. Now let's get that weight back up! She did take a few bites of her favorite fruit today, banana, well second favorite, grapes are #1 but mainly for the juice so the banana actually gives her more. I'm feeling a bit more optimistic now that I've seen some natural behaviors come back. I know this is not something that is ea
