Okay, this'll be my 4th thread today.... but I had the day off of work, and I'm on spring break....So, I have nothing better to do.

However, this is a more serious post. I've been playing with my babies a lot day. I was out shopping for a few hours, then watched Tv for a while, so there was about a 5-6 hour period when I didn't play with them. However, when I just did start playing with them again, I noticed one of my very favorites (Heart) has a nasty RI. None of the other pups seem to have it, but hers is really bad. I didn't notice it at all when I played with them earlier, and now the clicking can be heard just standing near the tank.

I put an ornacycline tab in the water bottle, but I'm still really concerned. She's still running around playing, so I suppose mshe's not knocking on death's door, but still... she's one of the sweetest out of the litter and I'll be heartbroken if she doesn't make it. Is there anything else I can do, aside from the ornacycline? Or is it out of my hands?

I just dabbed some of the treated water on her lips, after the tablet fully disolved.

Well, I checked on Heart this morning, and the clicking seems to be gone..... I don't really know a lot abour RI's. I don't know if it's normal for them to come and go so fast. But it seemed pretty nasty last night, and now this morning, nothing.

Well if she seems fine now and stays that way then maybe it was just a very slight case?

I am glad she seems to be doing better though and hopefully it will stay that way. I would keep an eye on her though, just in case :)...

Yeah, she seems okay now. She was clicking a little bit yeterday, but I put a little more of the treated water on her lips and she seems okay again.
