I ALWAYS wash my hands with iodine, hand sanitizer and dish washing liquid that has bleach added to it after I touch Daisy and after I touch her dish to feed her. Call me crazy but I just want to make sure I have clean hands before I go touching Maggy or the other furbutts in the house. I even put all the furkids away in their kennels while I get Daisy her food cause I won't touch them until I've washed my hands. I don't take Daisy out and let her walk around the floors or anything. I change her water in her pool daily, I wash her dish daily and she has clean peat moss I purchased at the store to fill her tank with. Her enclosure inside as well as the one I have her in through the warmer months of the year are kept very clean. Heck, I even wash off the night crawlers before I put them in her dish for her. I went earlier this evening and got rice and boneless skinless chicken breast and trimmed any fat off of it, boiled it, rinsed it all really good and gave her some, so far she's kept it down and hasn't puked. I'm hoping and praying tomorrow will be a better day. |
Tracy, it sounds like you are doing all you can do. Just relax and try not to worry - if you are worried Maggy May knows it. Part of the continuing problem might be she is worried about you. You know, she got better from the initial sickness but has worried herself sick over you worring about her being sick. Vicious cycle.
