Great update! I'm so happy to hear about her progress. :gj: Now don't be shocked if she acts defensive again when she is in shed...when their eyes are cloudy, they
normally just stay hidden for safety, & since their vision is much worse, they're more likely to feel afraid of our approach. It's normal if it happens, don't take it personal.
