Busy busy busy

I’m considering if it might actually be cheaper and easier for me to move into the vet surgery lol! I was down there with no less than 5 meeces this morning, will be there again for lilac foster’s neuter on Thursday and again Monday for Felix to have a lump removal and possibly Hoggle to be neutered too. My exotic specialist unfortunately wasn’t in today to discuss it but after talking it over with the vet she said to book him in and if for any reason the exotics vet doesn’t want to go ahead she’ll call me. She said she doesn’t see why it would present anymore of a risk than for a fancy mouse though which is good.

Benji’s skin had flared again after previously clearing up so now we are going to bath it with iodine a few times a day, which is also how we’re treating the inflamed polyps than have appeared in Fanulla/Lucy’s ears. She also has to wear a collar to stop her scratching them but they’re having to order in one to fit her so I won’t have that until Thursday. Never had to have a mouse wear one before so that’ll be a new experience for the both of us!

Also very sadly I had Charlie PTS this morning. I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet to be honest. I am pleased that the vet was happy with my suggestion for him to be allowed to go whilst still in his doughnut bed as he has adored that thing since the day he got sent it (fan mail from someone who’d followed a thread about him on the Fancy-rats forum) and so it seemed very fitting. I decided a long time ago that I’d bury him in when it was his time as it just couldn’t ever belong to anyone else. Its going to be difficult to bury him later, he’s been such a big part of my life for the past 18 months, my gorgeous Charlie-bear. Here are some pictures of him from his younger days.
