Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / December 2004X-Ray photos and new pics
Since Jacques had his surgery away from home, the vet gave me the x-rays to take to my regular vet. I took some photos of them and put them up on webshots. It's fascinating to see inside a rattie! I also put up some new pics of Jacques so you all know who I'm talking about. I decided not to put up the post-op photo I took last night because it's pretty graphic. When his hair grows back I'll take one that's not so scary looking!

Must write note to self: get big doll house for rat. ;) If you ever want to compare pics, I've got tons of Sven with his mass and after surgeries. His cancer was called a fibrosarcoma, low grade and it's known as a localized cancer so no spreading which is good news.  SignatureJoanne Mom to 10 rats http://community.webshots.com/user/joanneb70 Joanne, I would love to see some pics of Sven after surgery, and now. I think I've seen the worst of it in Jacques and I keep telling myself that he will look much better once his hair grows back. You can email them directly to me at meghan112rats@ncia.net and just remove the rats. I got the plastic "dream house" at a thrift store for $5. Best investment I've made in awhile!

Isn't it amazing how fragile their little bones are? I was sleeping with Momo when he was at his sickest a while back and I forgot about him and rolled over and almost squashed him with my hand. It was just so scary to realize how tiny his little ribcage is (at least my mommy instinct kicked in immediately, so I didn't hurt him at all, not even a squeak from him). I've been wanting to get a plastic dollhouse or one of those Sesame Street-type farms from a garage sale, but I've never gotten around to it. Seems like all of them love those. :) SignatureMariette http://community.webshots.com/user/wabewawa (wabewawa61-at-earthlink-dot-net) I bought a mounted rat skeleton via ebay a few years ago to help me understand the bone structure of rats- and it's also an interesting thing in its own right. I believe it was made as some kind of vet teaching aid as it has tiny little numbers on some of the bones. Have a look if you're interested: http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=showMyPhoto&albumID =239499878&photoID=239500785&security=zDwFyM I was amazed it was posted from the US to the UK and only lost a couple of rib bones in the journey! It certainly makes me appreciate how fragile some of their bones are. Interesting to see the x-rays too - I see that Jacques hasn't had his bits snipped! A Happy New Year to you and yours!

I'd love to see that skeleton.
