Vincent VanGogh is a male syrian hamster, he was brought to us because his owner did not want him anymore. Little Vincent was looking for a new home. We gave him that name because a good portion of ear was missing, I am guessing from a fight with another hamster ( he arrived with the ear in that condition) Vincent moved into a foster home while he was waiting for adoption, his foster Mom was Jessica. Jessica has now become Vincent's Mom!:) Jessica fell for Vincent's good looks and charm, she fell in love with him. She just officially adopted Vincent yesterday.
On Thursday, I had a vet appointment with Dr.T. It was for Marty and Randy our two cats. A couple months ago we took Marty in because he had awful breathe for a one year old cat. Well, poor Marty has gingivitis. Dr.T gave him a cortisone shot, many times it can be due to allergies or other reactions. He did get much better with the breathe and redness of the gums for about two weeks, then it came back. I took Marty in for a re-check on his Gingivitis. He just got another cortisone shot and I am to mark down exactly how long it lasts before his symptoms come back. If this isn't really helping he may need a different treatment that can have side effects, or have some teeth pulled ( I hope not) Randy the cat went in for his ears. I noticed he was itching in his ears with his back feet , really digging in and when he pulled his back foot out, it had gunk in his toenails, ew. Dr.T took swabs of his ear gunk and checked it out. He discovered that Randy has a yeast infection in both ears. He now has ear drops to treat it, and we are on day three of the treatment, it will go on for a week. He isn't too bad, Ray and I wrap him up in a blanket and I drop it in. He does shake his head vigorously when we are done, causing some of it to fly out. I am positive most of it is staying in though.
Layla the rabbit is going in for her spay surgery on Monday. I'll update on how she does.
