    Thanks, I'll keep doing the epsom salt baths. Can't get the medicine here In the uk sadly. My husband thought she looked like her scales were sticking out yesterday, I haven't noticed that myself. Keeping my fingers crossed she gets better

    She's not harrased, staying with the school and the boy's aren't dancing for her. She does seem to be breathing more heavier than normal but I thought that was due to her size.
