Each time Lucy came back inside from a bathroom break, she started to shake. she was frozen in place, but would quiver. An extensive knowledge of Looney Tunes cartoons has taught me that if you want an animal to follow a path, you drop a trail of food. The Roadrunner loves birdseed; Lucy loves ham. I dropped ham tidbits every few feet between the door and Lucy's bed. Pretty soon Lucy quit shaking and began sniffing about for the next hit of ham. She has moved past a fear of inside movement, and she has cautiously started exploring. I have an urge to help her get out of dead ends or confusing places, but I need to give Lucy a chance to work out her challenges first.
There is no word back on the Bartonella test.

There's not much that can't be conquered with ham! I'm so glad to hear that you are making progress with Lucy.
