i'm sorry i can't help, perhaps @Zeedman will stick his head in sometime as i think he has a lot of yardlong experience.

can you get in there with her? :) spend as much time as you can with her even if you are partway in. just sitting there with your leg in reading a book petting her. that's all i can think of at the moment. good luck. :hugs [p.s. make sure the door won't lock you in :) ]
