OK so puff weighed in yesterday at 308 grams and I was so happy. However, in closer inspection of that photo and looking at her I saw some feathers that she did her first step of damage to. I'll try to explain here, the first thing she does is bite the tip off so what is left is a v shape of the rest of the feather, then she will chew on that. Well if you look at the picture provided which is the one I posted the other day I noticed a few v shapes. This let me know I took the medication too low, so yesterday I went back to .03 ml and in that small increase I'm already noticing her show less interest in foods again. She's still eating and her morning weight was 295 grams. Ugghhh.
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
