But not doing well. I'll go check now.<br /><br />...<br /><br />He's lying on his back breathing hard. I've been gently righting him when he can't get up, but he gets so frightened when I touch him that I don't think I'll do it this time. I think this is the end. And I plan to sleep on the damn couch tonight so I don't have to move his cage off my bed (where I put it in the window during the day). I suspect he'll be gone by morning. Poor little thing.K.C.
