11:50p - Rat update..
Well, they found a tumor in Tofu's brain, and an abscess in his inner ear. They haven't worked out what the bacteria causing the abscesses were, but they've basically said I should be ok if i'm careful to disinfect the cages thoroughly.
Whatever it was they've found no evidence of a virus or anything to take out their immune systems. I'm guessing the bacteria/infection thing only happened once they were old and increasingly susceptible anyway. I'm not sure I could've done anything about it.. They were a well looked after set of rats but their personal hygiene *was* pretty shoddy - largely in ways i couldn't do anything about. They don't exactly do as they're told. :)
So.. Cleaning cages soon.
Not likely to blog for a week or two..! Might do anyway, but yep, busy busy.
Oh, got back in contact with a good friend of yore, which I'm really happy about. Making an effort to sort out at least one "nagging little thing I've been meaning to do for ages" every day. Hopefully that'll go better than the "draw something every day" plan, which resulted in a sudden drop in amount of drawings I do. Oops. It's the thought that counts?
current mood:  okay (2 comments |comment on this)
