Sorry Al, I don't do remote diagnosis. I don't even pretend to know or guess what might be going on with his animal. It could be something innocuous or something very serious indeed, there simply no way to tell from a one line descr1ption on a message board.
My obligation here is to tell folks to the best of my ability what I think and I don't really give a damn one way or the other if they like what I say or don't. The fact is that what I tell them is my best guess and when I don't know, I don't feel it appropriate to guess at all. As I said in my original post, I've never had a healthy female exhibit that behavior, which isn't to say that I haven't experienced it. The obvious correlation is that in my somewhat limited experience any female exhibiting this behavior/symptom is suffering from something. What that something is I haven't a clue and the "could be's" are simply too numerous to list.
