shaved rat pictures
Ignatz is doing better. He's started to venture out of his house more often, picked different sleeping spots sometimes and has been coming out to greet me when I'm near the cage doors, so he's not that lethargic anymore. He's really annoyed with the antibiotics though, and unfortunately spit some of the medicine out. I had a bit more than needed in the needle-less syringe I shoved into his mouth (the vet said I shouldn't give it mixed into food), so I hope I got something like a dose into him.

Meanwhile Emil is not pleased at all with the current state of affairs either, because parts of his cage are closed to him, and things are much more boring too, what with no brother to snuggle and scuffle with.

I tried to take photos of Ignatz' throat, but I he didn't really cooperate with me, so I only have a picture that shows one side of his shaved throat and the fetching silver glitter stuff they covered him in (some sort of disinfectant I assume), and a blurry one taken through the cage door as he was drinking.

Yeah considering that what they cut out was like half the size of his head... The area has swollen more today than it was yesterday, but I hope it is just some normal side effect from having such an operation, because otherwise he seems much better and not sick. I may call the vet on Monday though to ask and make sure. I guess I should have asked in more detail what to expect with the healing when the vet did a wound check yesterday, but somehow I never think of all this stuff. It's the same when I'm at the doctor for myself.
