[Petbunny] Smudge getting his medicine

[JoAnne and Paul]

I should have given specific examples..............Candy will sit up on her 
haunches and reach for a baby carrot and lose her balance and fall or take a 
big swing at her big bell (in her cage) to let me know that she wants out 
and has balance problems  (Sometimes she slips just because of bad traction 
too.)..........She just doesn't fall down all over the place.  She just over 
exerts herself for an older bun of her age............As far as going limp 
in my arms..........She always did that to some extent because she trances 
out when I hold her because she "loves her mommy".  I will take your advice 
and bring her in for a complete checkup as soon as her vet returns from 
maternity leave. I wanted to bring her in as soon as she turned eight just 
for some peace of mind, but, money was very tight.

Thank you for your concern.

JoAnne
