The shelter I rescued her from had said that Lily wouldn't eat, and would lash out at anyone that tried to touch her. They didn't realize she's blind. She was terrified! I haven't had a single problem with her eating, and haven't even heard a growl! ALL she needed was some love and security. She actually seems pretty well adjusted, but she does cry out if she can't find me, I've blocked all stairs because she'd GI up a few steps and get scared and I was worried she'd fall back down the ones she'd climbed. She knows to go slow and make sure she knows what's in front of her before she takes a step and is really careful, but she does lack confidence, and that's the biggest thing I'd love to find ways to help her gain so she doesn't feel she has to walk hunkered down and slow to avoid bumping things. Right now her injured eye is also pretty painful, so I'm sure that's not helping any, either!
