My poor, poor girly.
As many will remember, Phoebe came to us in a very sorry state. Her bottom was thick with dried on poo - the poor girl stunk to high heaven and she just looked... Sad. Timid and boxed at any approaching hand, and her diet was lacking.
She has came on in amazing leaps and bounds... And no longer boxes, tolerates fuss and will even demand head rubs... :lol:
Her character shines through and I luvs her to bits.
Tonight, however, I feel that I've let her down. She's clearly upset with me. I decided that I really needed to trim her nails and give her an all round check. There's dried poo on the underside of her tail, (no where near how it was, before I couldn't see how she could poo any more... :shock but it will mean I will have to bottom bathe her again...
Weeks of building up trust and now I feel like I've broken it. If I bottom bathe her, it will cause her distress and will prob lose all I've built up with her. She's already in a tizz about the nail trim/bottom check.
I have a duty to her care and won't leave her like it, but I feel so rotten about it. Plus I feel I must have done something wrong to cause her a dirty bottom. :? She has unlimited hay and an eggcup of pellets a day. Greens are rarely fed and only in tiny amounts..
Urgh. Why do I feel so bad??!
