Cloud, thank you. I always give her love. It's not like I don't feed her or play with her or try to take care of her as best I can. I guess I just thought since I can't see any signs-she must be fine. which is why I didn't take her to the vet. As I said before, I made a mistake.
I am a huge animal lover and I think I dunno, maybe I was too young? Maybe I didn't see signs so figured everything was ok? I honestly didn't know-but it was never intentional. I agree whole heartedly that people shouldn't take in pets if they can't take care of them. I did the best I could. I already yelled at my parents today for not knowing to take her to the vet lol! After all, I was 7 when we got her and then moved away for a while. Thanks again!
