I am repeating some of what I have said in the comments (sorry), but wanted to it put here for those who may not have read the comments.<\/p>\n

I put Rusty in the run at lunch time to poop and exercise. What I wasn’t expecting was for her to promptly have a dust bath. On the positive side this means she is feeling a bit better but it also meant that the dust stuck to the honey! I was a bit worried about this and e-mailed Terry to ask if it was okay to leave her like that. Terry, bless her, replied quickly and said not to worry about the dust as long as the honey isn’t attracting insects.<\/p>\n

Rusty preened and perched up with Freckles. She didn’t go to the nest box as I had expected her to, which I think is good, because she isn’t wanting to push and the prolapse has stayed in place.<\/p>\n

The next minute she was having a dust bath<\/p><\/div>\n

Her bottom now has dust stuck to the honey<\/p><\/div>\n

She is looking more herself<\/p><\/div>\n

Here she is at the end of the day<\/p><\/div>\n

I have decided that in the morning I will bath her again to get rid of the dust. I will leave her in the cat box to dry for the morning, after towel drying her as best I can, with water and a little corn and a chopped grape once more. This will stop her eating pellets and should stop her from egg laying.<\/p>\n

At lunch time I will return her to the run again and all being well I will leave her to it. As long as the prolapse stays in place I think she will be better off in the run and I hope that she will return to normal. I am feeling more hopeful now than I was this morning. I am still keeping everything crossed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
