So bindi is technically our first girl. we got her for kait to go with luna. That was over two years ago. She is now about 28 or 29 months. so my baby girl is aging. She has had the breathing issue. Ironically that isn't the concern as much as the head rearing up. Of course our little house dr is guessing pt but this is a much better video.

It just doesnt look voluntary to me.

I am not sure what to do right now. We have lost rats on the 22, 29 and the 5th. I was hoping for a bit of a break but I knew this one would be coming.

We tried heart meds and her lungs are clear. I am so sad though. My little bindi boo.
 
As I said on IM, it looks like the involuntary head lift you often see with late onset PT...lets hope its just a symptom that comes and goes and doesn't progress...her eyes are still very bright and she is tracking you well. :thumbup:

I know it was odd so i wanted to share either way. So people could see. I am just unsure now what to do for her..

Watch carefully, make sure her weight is keeping up and not drastically dropping, make sure no more advancing symptoms are happening. Peony is also doing this as well, she's wobbly and limp, but she is still able to eat her lab blocks well so I am not going to try anything yet.
 
I guess I wlll have to start doing a lab block mush and ensure for her. She eats ensure well but she lives with the 3 cows so i have to put her up separately so they dont eat it all. I have dex but I cannot say honestly with how her breathing is that I would want to do that whole bromo thing. Her breathing has been bad for a long time but it never caused her problems and she hasnt been sick. I know how bad the breathing deaths are. I am just torn.

For now she is fine, enjoyed sleeping on my legs and her ensure. We will just spoil her a bit more till i see another symptom.
 
I hope so. it is hard because she has been generally healthy but her breathing sucks now as you can see.
