Message: <blockquote data-quote="desert voice" data-source="post: 27985" data-attributes="member: 3066"><p>thanks katelyn--actually, after you and tgirl gave me your valuable input, i modified everything and kind of came to the same conclusion so i've stopped bothering her except i can't help but check on her once a day even though the advice online was to give water every 3 days and i could conceivably wait 3 days to even visit with her but that's hard.  so i look at her once a day and maybe just touch her legs to see if there's response but i don't do the other things anymore and i offer water probably every other day rather than 3 days.  yesterday was the first time she seemed to soak up the drop and she actually was showing a lot of leg and body response compared to before.  i think possibly being less invasive could be giving her more energy to recover.  i'm keeping her in a darker bathroom and that should be more comforting and i've taken her off the damp towel.  i put the damp paper towel in the bottom then folded a mesh onion bag several times and put it over the towel to keep her off of that and then dampen a paper towel and squeeze it out, put it over the entire top of the strawberry container and then close the lid.  the container already has holes in it for aeration and the damp towels provide some humidity throughout the day but she's not touched by any of it.  she just seems better in general.  i wonder if there's any kind of sustenance i could/should put in the drops of water, liquefied something or other.  it's probably too soon to worry about that, though.  what do you think?</p></blockquote><p></p>
