[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1467896, member: 25884"] It's just that I feel you are trying to "make things happen" and that is the over thinking part. Really.... None of it is going to happen overnight. The eye thing might take a little time and work its'self out. Again, it might be long term. Try to give it some time. If they are looking more normal then she might just come around. I admire that you REALLY WANT TO HELP HER..... but like someone once told me, 'quit trying so hard because you are making it harder than it has to be'; when I was trying to learn to breed cows. They were right. Give her some time. At this point, if she is eating, coming in and out of the barn on her own, not scouring or having any obvious issues, then whatever happens will happen. Again, her body is ridding itsself of the overdose of minerals, almost like poison. It could have affected her. It could be from the trauma when she was born. Right now, she is accepting that you are her momma. If she gets some exercise, then she will come along. Without spending a kings ransom on a vet to examine her eyes, and probably not learning anything new anyway, she might very well have partial sight. It might improve with time. I think the stumbling is in part the eyes, and in part just getting the muscle tissue to work after all she has been through. You say she is getting better....really, it hasn't been all that long. She started out with a couple strikes against her, so she needs to make up that and then go forward. Okay, now I understand your status. I was under the impression at first that maybe you were a nurse or nurses aid or something. God bless you for working with daycare kids. Really, chill ( I am saying this nicely) , she is eating and will be growing now.... you are doing what needs to be done, give it time. [/QUOTE]
