Hi all,

I have just brought Max home from the Vets. He is quite happy as is
Pinto who went with him for courage..:) It turned out to be a Cyst and
judging by the size of the wound it was a large one. He has stitches
which I said wouldn't stay in. She said to bring him back in 10 days
for removal,...LOL He also has a weeks supply of antibiotics to take.
I still have Max and Pinto in a separate cage for now but I am not sure
what I should do. I think he would be happier with the other boys but I
don't want them removing his stitches for him... Another option is to
separate off 1 of the levels in the big house and just have Max and
Pinto living together for a few days just to give his stitches a chance
to heal. What says ye all?.. opinions appreciated please.

The cost for surgery and antibiotics was $113.95 the price has gone
up... hmmm. Thanks for the kind thoughts one and all.

Regards A very relieved Kate.

That's good news about Max!!
I think I would do the separate level thing. Max and Pinto will be much
happier in their own place and one that they recognize, just for a
couple of days.
That price still beats the rest of us. ;)

I have just got in form work...(12.30am) and checked on the all the Rat
Bags. All the boys are trying to work out whose above them...LOL. Max
is in his igloo just snoozing quite content whereas poor old Pinto wants
to know why he's been sent to "time out"..LOL I am relieved that its
all over. Chester started his medication tonight so hopefully he will
be on the mend soon. From getting Africas cyst removed the price has
gone up 33 dollars... I keep an eye on these things and keep every
receipt so they don't try to rip me off...LOL You just can't trust a
Vet these days.

Regards Kate

Today I may meet with injustice, ignorance, denial, all of which are due
entirely to the other's lack of knowledge of good and evil and the
difference thereof.

I think that's the best idea to seperate off the levels - I've done that
before and it works out quite well.

Sending little Max well wishes for a quick recovery :o)
