Hopie Fever

            About 3 weeks after Hopie was born (between May 5th to May 16th), she came down with 106 Degrees F fever (normally around 100-100.8 F).  The vet had to give her many shots to combat against influenza and to reduce the fever and twice she was given saline solution intravenously. Happily, after about 2 weeks, she is in fine health now. 

            During the fight to reduce her temperature, she was given the wet-towels treatment and we also kept the water air conditioners on.  She would come to sleep in front of the air conditioning units after feeding and toilet breaks.  The only bad side effect of this treatment is that she is now totally addicted to the air conditioners !!!!  She would go run after the mother for a while and when tired, she would come right back to the air conditioners to nap in front of them !!!
