[QUOTE="LizHartley1991, post: 1468721, member: 31466"] Okay so I’ll be trying the finger thing! See if I can get her to try at least... Although her suckling ability is kinda weak. Right now my concern is getting Mira to feel better and wonder about her eyes. If I run my hand or fingers in front of her eyes she will blink at them. But she won’t follow my hand if I try to move it. I’ve gotten her to follow me around a calf lot without trouble and she can follow me with her head when she wants to. She even blinks and reacts to light like he sun or a flashlight. But if I take Mira outside, she doesn’t want to move most of the time unless she’s hungry. It’s 60 degrees today but feels like 58, high sun and no clouds, and 14 mph winds. I’ve let Mira out of the barn because she stays inside too much because it’s cold. I know she’s been sickly lately so I thought some sun and exercise would do her good. But once you get her out the four of the barn, all she does is stay in the shade against the barn or lays down or doesn’t move and just shuffled occasionally. Again I know she’s not feeling that well so I don’t expect her to be leaping for joy or bouncing about but it’s such a sad droopy sight... Am I being mean to her by putting her out today? I just feel like sunlight and sand free range would make her feel better to get some exercise in her... [/QUOTE]
