[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9926"] Ok, sorry to hear you have a slacker for a vet. Tell me about her eyes. Do they move or stay still if she is not moving. If they move, is it faster to one side? Is there white visible before the iris (coloured part?) Either of these are signs of brain lesions, possibly meningitis, and the nuflor is as good as anything for this I guess.
