Mixed News

Well, we have some bad news and some good news.
Unfortunately, we lost one of the zebra finches today. One had come in missing a foot, but otherwise healthy. Despite having seemed healthy, he passed today. There's no indication that his missing foot had anything to do with his passing; it was well-healed when he arrived. He may not have been at Small Pets-Big Hearts, Inc. for long, but he will be missed.
In better news, Gibbs, DiNozzo, and McGee the hamsters appear to be healing well from umbilical infections. While we're not sure how they wound up infected in the first place, a few days and some Baytril have already led to much improvement. Skin color is returning to normal and the infections are draining.
As always, if you would like to help out the rescue by fostering, adopting, or donating, please email rachel(at)smallpets-bighearts(dot)org.
