Ray and I discussed Jade with Dr.T. He told us she is definitely worsening, her kidney levels are much worse. She hasn't been eating much cat food at all, but she'll eat some people food, cheese, lunch meat, chicken, etc. Dr.T told us we could keep her around a little while longer by feeding her people food, he also told us that she isn't in any pain. Animals and people with renal failure, kidney problems, basically just feel awful, like having a bad flu. They feel run down, weak, just really blah. Jade isn't hurting but does feel really sick. It's our decision now, when to do it, when is it time. It is possible we may make the decision next week, we'll see how she is doing.
The head tilted bunny turns out to be a girl. The exterior of her ears look good, but she may have underlying problems inside the ears. Dr.T has us started on a antibiotic (Baytril) and anti-infammatory- pain med (Metacam) treatment for her, we'll see if she improves and maybe even recovers with this. If not we'll take her in for some head X-rays to see the inner ear and find out what may be wrong there. If the problem isn't the ears then we'll go from there, but this is where he wants us to start.
Nickle the guinea pig is in perfect health :) What a cutie, he was such a charmer and good patient. So sweet.
I had to separate some of the boy mice today. There are 2 white albinos and 2 blacks and the white ones started attacking the black ones even wounded them. Now I have the blacks away from the whites so they can heal and not be hurt anymore. Can we say segregation? hehe, no, it's a male thing, they do get territorial and many times separating needs to be done.
