After about a week with that regimine she was fine and we havent needed the drops since. I wouldnt know if its an RI or not but maybe this will help a little.
This sounds like the case to me. I've dealt with this before on several occasions. People throw them in a box with no regards for humidity or diet, than don't understand why they don't thrive. In the 2 hrs. before work she seemed better.We'll make sure all is well. I don't forsee any lasting problems.
We hadn't intended on adding a new kid but we have enough time to care for her properly.
