[Petbunny] OT: Shiloh needs prayers and vibes

[Andrea Zander]

Sigh. For anyone not up on the "saga," Shiloh has developed a rather severe
case of pica, where she is eating things that aren't food--like REALLY
aren't food. At the beginning of July, she ate Olivia's tutu. When we got
back from vacation (during which she got rid of most of the tutu, and then
the rest of it at home), she began eating magnetic letters--the kind that go
on the fridge door. She also chewed the string off Liv's toy telephone
(about 12" long, for pulling the phone about) and ate it. Got rid of that,
and she ate a ribbon (we think--we weren't too interested in determining
exactly what it was) and got rid of it. Well, yesterday afternoon she ate
the string, connecting chain, and footlong feathery "tail" off Poco's cat
wand. And now she's replaced eating with throwing up all over the house--not
much, but in a lot of places. Sigh. Any support you can offer is
appreciated. Shiloh is 14, and otherwise pretty spunky. We know her time is
coming, but this is so bizarre and hard to handle.

Thanks.
