When I got home yesterday afternoon I tried the bonding pouch. I made hers myself from a fleece baby sleeper, so it's bigger than the standard one. I put some of her nesting material in one corner of the bag along with a hunk of walnut and a blueberry and after I dosed her, I held my hand by the pouch to see if she would go in. She did. I laid down with the pouch on my stomach/chest and left it open so she could decide what she wanted. She explored the pouch quite a bit and then curled up in her nesting material and dozed for an hour. THen she crawled up and out and laid on the skin on my chest (I was wearing a tank top) for about an hour and let me stroke her gently and talk to her. She was awfully sweet. Eventually she went back in the pouch and pulled it closed herself and went back to sleep. She stayed there until her late night dose of vitamins and then I gently put her back in her nest box.

This morning when I got up she was out of the nest box and drinking from her bottle - that's actually the sound that woke me up, and I have never been so happy to hear it! I was worried she wasn't drinking enough, so I've been trying to get her to take some water from the syringe when I have her out. I was really happy to see her drinking, let me tell you!

Today she drops to one dose of prednisone every 24 hours for 5 days (then one dose every other day for 10 days), so that's one less time to disturb her. :) I don't know if it's wishful thinking, but I think she's looking perkier and moving a little more. She is such a good girl, and is being so patient with me.
