Default no I wasn't

I was actually talking about someone that asked me to give her to them...

but I am not sure what you are talking about here:
The failure to thrive, lack of appetite, distended abdomen, and mental impairment worries potential buyers.

She thrives great... she is just small. She has a huge appetite for her size. She hasn't had a distended abdomen... except after she gulps water... which I was concerned about so I took her to the vet... they said it is like a baby that gets too much air and prescribed a water bottle vs bowl.... and it only happened when she was fighting for water (they all seem to want to eat and drink out of one... even though they have a food and water bowl each...lol). Mental impairment isn't exactly accurate... but I will have to let that go... because blood sugar does react that way.

I called the vet she saw in Arkansas today. He said once she passed 8ounces she was making it.... she was eating and fine. There were no problems that would have him run test preimptively... her size happens now and then... just like "teapots".... it is rare... but does not mean they all have problems. This put my mind at ease to know the original vet didn't feel there was a problem. I know my vet here adored her... he has maltese. He didn't recommend any testing... but I will still call him.
