Okay, I'll try to keep this brief but also give you some history. We have had Bambi now for almost four weeks. Since we have had her, I have noticed that she sits a lot, whenever she can. Our kitchen floor is laminate, so it is slippery, but I notice that her back legs don't seem to keep up with her front legs (do you notice that with your fullie?). Also, she doesn't lay down very much except in her crate (she prefers to sit). If she does happen to lay down like when she is chewing on her toy, I notice that she has never done the frog. Now my mind is going and I'm afraid she has spinal issues. From what I have gleaned, I think the breeder kept her in her crate almost all of the time. I am wondering that after three years of that, maybe her legs are messed up from laying so much. I called today and made an appointment for her with a new vet. I picked one of the larger clinics thinking that their vets might be more up on fullies. Ginger's vet is so nice, but he is semi retired and works by himself in a one-doctor practice. I don't know if he would know all the cutting edge things about fullies. Anyway, I am somewhat worried and anxious to find out more. Plus, Bambi is only 18.4 lbs. and I think she is too thin. She is very small, however, I think she could use at least another pound. Her waist is really small and I can see her ribs and feel her backbone. I am trying to add weight to her but it is a very slow process. I am so attached to her, I hope she is okay.
