  I don’t think cuddles are on the cards now… she didn’t come out so I ended up having to stick my arms into her cardboard box cubby and give her both medicines by feel. Spilled part of it and made her extremely unhappy.

    Ah it’s okay, we gotta do what we gotta do for our furry family, even if they don’t understand why.

    You waited until you couldn’t, and I think the way you did was as low stress as possible, you didn’t pull her out of her cubby.

    You’re looking after her wonderfully, friend. She’ll forgive you for any spills 💜

      It was bad though. She had her back to the tiny entrance I was coming in through (and blocking) so was literally cornered and trapped. My fingers and the medicine syringe were probably going near her eyes because I had to do it by touch.

      I’ve patted her and apologised, explained how I had waited a while to try and avoid doing that, but the longer she went without the worse she would have felt… but I knew it was traumatic and I’d try to avoid doing that again. She seems to have settled.

        Hm idk I still think the way you did it was better than pulling her out, but also you know her better than I do, so maybe if shes in there again you can pull her out and see which reaction indicates less stress.

        You are doing great, don’t doubt yourself. 💜
