1 x 1 with Stumpy

[Boomer]

Maria followed Cinder's gaze to her sister. "Mare didn't mean to be so... defensive." she said quietly, "I know she was worried about myself and my girls." She knew Mary would apologize when she woke up. "I am concerned, however..." she said truthfully, "I don't think one of my girls is okay. Her scent is... off."

[Stumpy.]

"What do you mean?" Cinder entirely shifted in demeanors. She hopped quickly over to the pen, peering through the bars.
"I can go get someone if you want them to look at her." She said. She hated leaving, but if a pup wad at risk, she'd help.

"I'm no expert, but it kind of smells like an infection." she said quietly, "But I don't know where it's coming from." Maria collected her oldest pup and brought her closer to Cinder.

[Stumpy.]

"I don't have the best sense of smell, but I'll be right back." She quickly made her way to the door, opened it and closed it behind her before she dashed out into the hallway squawking loudly to get attention.

Maria was a bit surprised to see Cinder getting out so easily. She watched as Juan came into the nursery. "What is it?" he asked, clearly confused.

[Stumpy.]

Cinder motioned towards the "weird smelling" pup next to Maria, making vaguely distressed sounding noises. It was rare that she pulled a stunt like this, but she could tell something was off. Nothing good ever came when a pup or chick smelled off.

[Boomer]

Juan entered the pen and took the pup from Maria. He shut the door, leaving Maria to tend to her other pups. He brought the pup to the other side of the nursery to be examined.

[Stumpy.]

Cinder followed Juan to watch the pup, letting out little concerned chirps. She sat down next to him, looking up at the little pup. Poor baby..

[Boomer]

Juan examined the pup and did see some discharge her right eye. He looked over to Cinder. "Cinder, can you help?" he said. He wanted her to watch the pup so he could draw some blood.

[Stumpy.]

Cinder took the pup, and gently nestled her on the spot she usually rested her head, and then sat her head on top of the pup, leaving some room for cool air to keep it from getting too overheated. She just hoped the poor thing would be okay.
