Poor Shelby

I'm getting more and more worried about little Shelby. We think she may also have a lung infection. She's listing badly whenever she is in the water. We've had to start force feeding her since she won't eat otherwise. We're going to pick up some more medicine for her this afternoon in hopes that it will help also.
Today she is just laying on the rock and won't pick up her head unless we touch her. I feel so sad for her, but I guess there isn't anything else we can do to help. I'm praying that she'll make it through this.

Did you try offering her something else to eat? We gave our sick ones some lettuce and cantelope. I hate it when they are sick and you feel helpless. Ditto on the fact that what would we do if we had kids. (side note) Our friend had her baby last night and we went and visited them in the hospital and Zachary held her and he looked so cute. A little out of place but still cute. I don't think I have ever seen him hold a newborn
