Couldn't really justify or afford it. Whatever happened was something that
only affected this one animal. I'm leaning towards her swallowing something
that caused internal injury. She was in excellent health and very active. If
it were a toxin, others probably would have gotten it as well. The others
are all accounted for and quite well. With wet weather setting in and temps
around 40 degrees, they are enjoying the recently installed heating pad in
their hootch.
> It's a compliment to you that she came back to your house.
It is, isn't it? Even though they are semi feral and don't really want
direct contact, they talk to me, hang out at the door, and generally view my
home as their safety net.

Well, it about figures that with hormone adjustments, some won't be as
competitive and aggressive over the food or territory as they were before.
