Physical Issues

Something is wrong with EDub. When I came home yesterday at 10:00am she was fine. When I came home at 5:00pm yesterday, she was not fine. She wouldn't get up. She was sitting in a pile of ants, in her own crap and unable or unwilling to get up. I picked her up and checked her feet (paws, or whatever they're called) then put a pile of food in front of her and went off to have dinner with Stephen and Jenny, figuring Stephen could tell me what was wrong with her. He said maybe she got bit by an ant. That rendered her paralyzed? In any case when I got home she had moved to a different spot on the grass and when I got home today she was on the patio. I picked her up and held her in my lap for about five minutes trying to get her to tell me what had happened. Then I turned her over and saw what could possibly be her hooha. And let me say, it is stinking odd looking. (If that's even what it is. It could be a giant tick.) But since I hadn't ever checked her hooha before I can't say. And I am not going to Google duck's hoohas for images. She's moved around some more, so I am going to consider that by tomorrow she will be back to normal. Or she will be going to school with me on Thursday in Jessica's cat carrier so Stephen or Duane the Ag teacher can tell me what's wrong with her at the first staff meeting of the year.
