Thank you for your replies. I no longer feel all alone trying to figure out how to take care of Eva.

Jenn....yes, my daughter is a great kid...and loves animals.

Cheryls....congratulations. I'm proud of you.

About Eva....the day after my previous post, her eyes turned blue, so we have not held her since then (maybe why she was acting a little strange??). Her eyes are clear now, so I hope the shedding goes well.

This is a great website.
