Hi everyone,
I am new to this site and forum. Hoping to find some information or advice. There is a feral living in my backyard. Female that I think is about 3 years old.
A year ago I was able to TNR her and she stayed away for 3 months and now every day comes up to my back deck to eat and sleeps on a perch I made for her outside my window.
We interact through the window, if I touch my nose to glass she puts hers against mine on other side. And she lays down and exposes belly and sleeps there nearly all night every day. However, if I try to approach outside she runs. I cannot get within 15 feet. She is exceptionally afraid and that’s OK, I'm just describing the relationship.
Here is my question. Her breathing seems very labored. Her chest expands and contracts very awkwardly and at a fast pace all the time. It seems very labored. Even when sleeping. Asking for any information or advice on what could or should be done about this.
I've tried trapping her again but she is not having it and wont go anywhere near a trap.
I have a video of her breathing but not sure if it is too big to post. Will consider that.
Thanks in advance.
