Info Request

Hi Kelly. Can you be more specific for me? A "false positive" in exactly what kind of test? And, are you saying her calcium was high? Can you tell me every test that was run on her and what the results were? How long has she been plucking? It's great that you went right to the possible health issues first because they need to be ruled out before attacking it from another direction, but, have you attemtped any kind of behavioral modification with her yet to address the plucking? Does she do it all the time, only certain times of the say, only under certain circumstances? What I'm getting at is, are you able to see any pattern to it at all. Tell me about her dailey diet and her bathing habits. Does she pay much attention to toys and is she a talker? This extra information and anything else you can think of to add will help me to give you my best advice. Thanks. Patricia
