Subject: Re: vomiting at night
How does her living situation differ at night?
Is she caged at night but not day? If so, is she possibly allergic
to or nauseated by a laundry product? Is it possible that she is
injesting bedding or bedding fibers?
How does her activity level compare day to night?
Does she feel more competative about food at night and more
likely to bolt it?
Is she more horizontal at night (possible increased acid reflux
situation)?
What is different besides the time?
