Thank you. I swear that I try. I just finished getting our 3 1/2 year old rat through an upper respitory, have been giving an old cat with final stage kidney failure sub Q fluids for a little over a month, force feeding a 6 year old toad who can not use his tongue properly since hatching..... so I promise that I always try to do the best by these babies. I thank you so much for your help and kind words.
That bump was not there, at least not so prevalent if it was, until yesterday afternoon when she was dragging her back legs, then started straining, pooing just juice. She fell over and her beard did turn black... all she wanted was for me to hold her. This is of course when I begged to be worked in at my rep vet.
I want to add that her back has always been a little arched, different than our boy’s. And sometime when her feet have extra swelling, she seems to be swollen and sore up by her shoulders... attributed this to the gout.
I already moved the mesh top over and used a screw to attach the light at a good height. She has been under it all morning. The larger wire it a great idea. We have different kinds of fencing wire. The no climb horse wire is probably a 2x3 square. Our cats cold not get in.
I did ask if the blood work was sent in and he said that he felt the information he got from the panel in-house and the smear was sufficient.
Go Roxy !
