But, she never missed a beat, continued to nurse off her mother like gang busters. I monitored her very closely and within a week the breathing was fine. Took her into the vet to make sure all was fine. Is she fine????? My goodness other than being 4 pounds at 6 months (I'd really love her to be closer to 6) If she gets to that magic 5 pounds...she'll be championed.....she's a holy terror.....beats up on everyone, thinks she's the boss and bigger than she is.

What a heart warming story with a wonderful outcome!
