Took my baby girl to the vet today...

[patientz3ro]

First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who's replied to this thread so far. I really do appreciate all of your suggestions. I'm sure Ajja does too, since every rookie mistake you guys help me avoid is one more thing that she won't have to put up with.

I'll be picking up hoppers this afternoon. I've been offering her F/T, on the assumption that she was eating before. At this point, I'm going to assume she hasn't eaten at all, so if I can find live, I'll pick one up. If not, I'll just get frozen and brain one. If that's the case, I guess we'll find out how good I am at the zombie mouse dance. I would prefer to feed her F/T, but it's not really about what I want, and I completely agree that getting her to eat at ALL is the priority. Hell, if the only thing I can get her to take is a three legged mole rat with bad eyesight, I'll make it happen.

Annarose - Yep, Frontline. The one for puppies and kittens. I thought it was a little odd too. I did some research before using it, and it turns out it's not uncommon. The vet I took her to was Dr. Thomas Boyer, DVM. He's one of the two vets who founded ARAV, so I feel pretty safe following his recommendations. Still, I've been keeping a pretty close eye on her since I treated her. It's probably still too early to tell how effective it's going to be, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed and I'll let you know about the results.
