Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / March 2006

Hi all,

We made it to the Vets without Houdi managing to do his escape
thing..:)  My original Vet )from when I first had rats) is back from
having her kids.  WOOHOO  She was great with Houdi and Harry. She gave
them both a thorough going over.  Houdis bumble foot is being treated
with Trisul twice daily and she gave me stuff to lightly scrub his
bumbles.  Its called Hibiclens.  I have to wet a wad of cotton wall and
then dab some hibiclens on it and gently rub his back feet.  She says
it should clear in about 2 weeks and not to panic if the bumbles burst
and/or fall off.  ( about now I am feeling ill myself)..LOL. Harry has
good old Vibravet to take and he just licks that off your finger like a
good wee man.  We are also dosing them all for Mites as Harry has been
scratching around his neck again.  So fingers crossed all goes well for
my wee fellas. :))

As it was a hot day and a long drive they had grapes and watermellon.
By the time we got there their house was a mess with all the tissues
dyed purple.. Bless their wee piggy butts.

Kind regards to all.

BTW Joanne,  I gave my Vet the copy of the Medication Chart she was
thrilled.  She said she had some lists but was always glad of different
ones as well..:)
