"Tiki" update :)

Hi everyone

I guess I should post this on the "new" "Off Topic" page but I'm not sure everyone is aware of that page yet or not, so I thought I would post here first.

Tiki is doing amazing . After the camera and the barium, it was found that she has an irregularity of the stomach and it was basically all rough - kind of ulcerated - instead of smooth :(

She was put on medication and now is almost back to normal - and eating....yeah - OK, she will only eat chicken breast that has been cooked, plain, on the BBQ, but she is eating :D

I just started to mix in wet food as well and she is taking that too.

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes - it is greatly appreciated.

I will post her picture once I get a good one of her as in most pictures she kind of looks like a "she devil" as she has blue eyes and it is really hard to get a good photo of her - but she really is cute and full of quirkyness (sp)

Thanks again everyone.

I guess I should change it to a chicken and mongoose diet - she just loves to catch them - unfortunately she is not aware of the "cath and release" program :lol: )

Hey California Girl

Yep - they work as a team and catch (OK, kill) anywhere from 1 to 4 per week.

The National Park used to pay money for every dead mongoose you took to them (so I have been told) - no more unfortunately - I'm sure we would have soon been moving into Peter Bay with her level of activity per week :lol:

And yep, she is not much bigger :lol:
