So far still the same. She seems to get it knocked out when she lays down...odd. She can't ever seem to get it back in on her own although today once she did. Usually we just scoop her up in our hands where her little legs hang off each side of our hand and it just goes back in, then we set her back down. I feel so bad for her. At night she has to lay or squat when she sleeps so it tends to go out. We tried a sort of sling but she ends up getting herself out of it.
The picture is of her in her little sling. It was made from soft fleece fabric hung over a box. We stapled the fabric tight. A hole is cut out for her butt so when she pooped she wouldn't be sitting in it and then two holes for her legs. She just sort of hangs. She seemed to like it and would lay there and snooze but by morning she was out of it and under it.
