I'm surprised that they didn't at least give you the stuff to try to treat her...

@Laurie/Stefan, oops, I should have been more clear...I am the one to talk to on this issue. :D The fish and wildlife commission does not deal with stuff like this, which is where I would come into play to answer any questions. Feel free to PM me. Stefan, You should go volunteer at Busch...

see if I can do it....

I must be special.....but I couldn't see it either, but was able to open it in a new window...:D
