It's alright, she seems to be soft of better (but it's off an on.)

I didn't think of that, though I suppose it's possible. (I've heard of giving them a pineapple tablet for hairballs, so what you suggest is not too far fetched XD)

Thankfully, she's been trying to drink a little, and is attempting to munch on hay in the moments she feels better.

Sadly I don't have a Standard of Perfection (though I plan to get one soon because I wanted to wait rather than have an outdated one.) I've been researching, and guess it may have something to do with digestive stuff.

Okay, as for symptoms. She seems pretty unresponsive/tired at times, moves little, won't eat, and keeps sort of chewing (but not really, cause she's not eating anything) I was worried about GI Stasis, but it's not that severe. She feels a little thin, and her stomach seems a bit bloated or something. Lastly, during these moments she has a little trouble breathing. I came home from school and my sister told me what was going on. She seems to have gotten a bit better with company, water, time, and some hay- but it only lasts for a little while, and she goes back to sitting a little limply/hunched. (Hopefully it's nothing and just a little digestion issue, but you can't be too careful.) (*strokes rabbit* Her fur is so soft...)

I plan to talk to my 4H leader tomorrow morning and relay what's going on, just to be safe.

I may try to pick her up carefully when she's in one of her better moments. (That way I could listen to her heart, digestive track, ect.)

Okay, about Jase. He's really old now, and yes, he's a hamster. (It's really sad, his furs so thin because of his elderlyness.) And he sort of has this abscess or something underneath the fur on his chest. There's little point going to a veterinarian for three reasons, and I'm unsure of what to do. ('Cause I don't want to hurt him, but I don't want him to hurt himself.) So I just wanted to ask if anything like that has ever happened to your gerbils. (Maybe not, but it's worth asking, right?)

Lilly enjoys being held for the most part, she's pretty tolerant. That's odd, Trubbs seems like a neat rabbit though :D Drinking is important, typically Lilly always eats and drinks, without fail. One time when I had the treat bag she raced up and started tugging on the bars of the cage XD

The rest of the family just got home, thank goodness

Thanks Sayna, I really appreciate it. It's stressful (because of course you can't read their mind or anything *sighs*) Thanks once again, I've been praying too, it really means a lot.

Just to be safe, tomorrow I'll contact my 4H leader, she's great with rabbits, and probably has had this sort of thing happen before.

That's good, have fun! it's nice to visit relatives for holidays and such. I hope so to, it wasn't a good way to start Christmas Break, but the break isn't over yet. I know, so do I :( Oh well, there's always letters and such.

I've been reading each update on your stories, I've just been really slow to answer. But great job, they always get better and better with each day!

I'll be here, and hopefully Lilly'll be alright. I should post a picture of her on Holt Rhulain sometime...
