Thx to iguanamomma & jif for getting back to me! I wrote a long letter of thx last night but must have been too tired (wonder why LOL) and it disappeared!

I definatly think the problem is calcium deficancy, ALL MY FAULT. Even though I was feeding her good stuff (endives, green beans, carrots, parsnip, pellets, ect.) I was also giving her lots of parsley, don't kick me, my ass already hurts from kicking myself all day & night. I knew about spinach, broccoli, cabbage, ect.. but not parsley. I even told my vet what I was feeding her! God forgive me!

Anyway here is the history so far:
* Slowed eating 3 weeks ago about, got x-rays, full of eggs, not calcified.
* Lots of digging
* Thrus 1 egg
Sat 1 egg
Mon 1 egg
Tues 3 eggs afternoon & evening
Wens AM 2 more eggs
I stopped giving parsley Tues AM, still giving her warm baths, and droppers of water and calcium. She even ate a bit by her self yesterday.

Notes to Igmomma: * The house I want to move her into she is already very famillar with. She has watched me build it everyday. And even goes in it to dig and snoop around when I leave the room for a minute. * When I mentioned force feeding, pureed is what I meant, sorry I didn't say that :o) do you think its a good idea, she needs the calcium I,ve deprived her of.
* As far as getting back to the vet, I lost my job the same day I took her 3 weeks ago. I paid him 200 dollars, and don't feel all that confident that he will help. I will her to the end of the week for more signs, she seems to be *coping*

Sorry its so long, I'm beside myself, I love her so much!

Janet

PS: Yes I will beg, borrow or steal, if everyone still thinks I should get her to the vet.
