I'm still learning how these forums work, but wanted to bump the chain back out a level because there were so many responses (thank you!)

Last night and this morning were a little trying in our squirrel infirmary. Mekare is exhibiting some strange behavior - I'm not sure if she's stretching, if it's a seizure or if she's joined some new religion. She climbed out of her bonding pouch last night and sat on my shoulder for a while, as I was lying on my bed. She started pushing her shoulders forward and reaching her left arm straight out in front of her, as though she were a zombie and pointing at something. Then she'd relax, roll her shoulders back and sit down. A few seconds later, she'd lean forward and the arm would be outstretched again. She did this several times.

When I picked her up to dose her, I learned the hard way she'd been out of her cage too long - she peed all over me. Silly Mom, she needed a potty break!

She's getting to the point where she REALLY doesn't want the vitamins. Last night and this morning she really squirmed and chirped and chittered at me. I may try mixing the vits into her yogurt and giving them to her that way this afternoon - that sounds like a really good suggestion!

And she must know she needs it, because I gave her a bit of broccoli last night and she actually ate some of it. I won't say she ate a lot, but it's a start! She ate a mealworm too. She didn't look nearly as perky yesterday or this morning as she did two days ago. Hopefully she's just sleepy and a little cranky with her Nurse Mom.
