Her most common activities are sleeping, eating and sitting on top of her cage staring at the wall - this disturbs me.” When Marilyn contacted me for a personalized consultation with Lily these keys points caught my attention with a snap.

However, when she’s completed all the doses and her gram stain is clear, I slowly watch her go back to being sullen, scared and grumpy.” Marilyn sighed. “Then I take in another dropping sample for a gram stain and she’s started on medication all over again.
