Glad to hear Nigel's feeling better!
Hank got dehydrated after a course of antibiotics and I was surprised at how she bounced back after a couple of weeks of baths.
Thanks for advice Robyn! I have noticed that Hank has a very rigid schedule she adheres to. I'll keep a better eye on what's in Hank's territory -- I certainly don't want to stress her.
Hank's got a fun new behavior that I'm wondering about. She's been sucking in her head and arms and then launching herself at things using her hind legs. It looks like she's head butting things.
She did it to a pair of sneakers after she spent about twenty minutes trying to eat. And then...
You know, I don't know what breed this was about -- it was in the general discussion and I didn't see a breed mentioned. Maybe I should be backing out apologetically.

Thanks for giving Emerson a new shot at life!
My little princess really hated bathtime too. I experimented with the water temperature and depth but I wasn't able to make Hank happy. Finally I just kept to a rigid schedule -- same time (only a little after she rises in the morning) every other day (her baths are only about 15 minutes or...
Glad to meet you and welcome!
I can absolutely attest to the "What the....?!" part of owning a pet. It happens! But the kind folks here will offer you the best answers and advice that you're likely to find.
