Allergy ball 2 just figured out a bottle and drank about 1/3rd of her daily formula. I had to stop her to avoid drinking too much. No more tiny dropper. She kept getting frustrated and distracted by these tiny amounts of milk at a time. I'm not sure how they kept her alive on it so far. No wonder they found it too much work but they said she wouldn't take a bottle. I had to feed some, put her in the litterbox until she started screaming, feed some, groom her some, feed some.... After some hole size adjustment she sucked down most of the bottle with only one break. She's also had 3 normal poops today. The last one was small but she hadn't eaten well. Now she wobbles around purring instead of screaming. I'm trying to figure out a better way to groom her. The only thing I can think of small enough but with tines/bristles to separate the fur instead of matting it together is a toothbrush.

Allergy ball 2 is getting increasing eye gunk. She could at least open them throughout yesterday after one got stuck overnight but now she has both gunked shut and I had to wipe them clean. Is it irritation that will clear up or do I need to get terramycin? The feed store does not have the ointment on their online site and the pharmacies do not have terramycin at all on their sites. The feed store has terramycin tablets for scours in calves. Can those be used at all. What else might work? <br /><br /> __________ Tue Jul 14, 2015 9:09 am __________ <br /><br /> A tube of terramycin online from 2 sites is $15 so even if I find it I can't get it. I don't have $15 unless I want to not eat until another hedgehog is sold. Time to come up with a plan B.
