Zolo!
Well, he can't eat much hay, and he can't bite a carrot, but his spirits
are up.  He will eat & fight for kale.  Pulled some out of Jump's
mouth.  I chop the boys carrot into small pieces, and they all eat
together.  If I try to give Zolo a separate dish, he won't eat!  But if
I chop everyone's carrot, he's in.  Thanks Els!  Same thing with Kale,
chop for all.  Two days ago he could not even eat chopped carrot.  He is
now starting to accept parsley, so I'm relaxing a little.

Brenda is away on a business trip, so her friend Carole, the nurse, who
has three cats, helped Me with the sub-Q fluid. I give Zolo 25 cc.
critical care twice a day.  It's assisted feeding.  I don't have to
force feed him.  Sub-Q is down to once a day. Carole, the "Cat Nurse",
was amazed.  Zolo's eyes quite literally sparkled as he lunged for the
syringe to get his Reglan.  Yeah!  Rabbits are more cool than cats.
(apologies to cat people). Zolo is coming along.
