Update on Floppy Fish toy

I ordered one, along with a high quality Japanese silvervine powder.

Should arrive Thursday.

I've tried virtually every type of toy, to no avail, so I'm really hoping silvervine, along with yet another new toy will catalyze play for exercise.

I will update to let you all know if it works.

Ty all!

Numerous fishing pole toys, etc. Etc.

Really, really hoping she has stim effect from silvervine.

If this doesn'twork, I'll take her to different vet in a couple of weeks for bloodwork & consult.

Da Bird its on a long flexible rod and it can bounce the feather and because the rod is so long they have to move more to catch it.Also the long pole gives you more control in how you move the feathers.

Than you can use a laser pointer Othello loves that too and his toy that automatically rolls around.

I took off the little bell because he would keep me up at night with it.

He wore through several of them, but finally got tired (or maybe too old) of them. I still keep one charged up, but he rarely uses it now.
