[Gpdd] MISC - Molly

[DFHAKES at aol.com]

Jaime,
 
Sounds like you're doing absolutely everything you can do and sounds like  
you have a good vet to rely on.  It's extremely frustrating because it  seems so 
simple - Molly just needs to eat!
 
Do you have a good scale you can use to weigh her on a daily basis?  I  use 
the Salter scale from Williams-Sonoma.  It's expensive but I use it to  weigh 
my food.  I would start weighing her in grams vs. ounces.
 
Offer small meals of tempting items cut into little pieces.  Try  oatmeal and 
if the vet approves, Ensure vanilla to get some calories into  her.  You'll 
probably have to syringe that.
 
I recommend some Mint Milano cookies for you.  There is nothing more  
stressful than to have a sick kid who can't tell you what's wrong.  Take it  easy on 
yourself and rest while you can. 
 
The girls and I are sending healing weeks to Molly.
 

Regards,


Dana Felice

Petsmart is PetsDUMB

Here's what  Petsmart said in 2000 regarding the sale of rabbits:

"Our brand name  stands for ethics, quality, health and good care for animals 
and we're always  willing to forego the short run marginal sale because our 
standards are higher  and our ethics are little bit better," says Francis [CEO 
of  Petsmart].

Here's what they're saying today:

PetSmart is testing  the sale of spayed and neutered dwarf rabbits as part of 
the selection of small  pets we offer for sale.

Bye bye to higher standards and  ethics....and my business.
