    Thank you! Sorry about the last one, I had been experimenting with a Photobucket account, but the upload times (they like to play me a promotional video) aren't that great on my internet bandwidth! Here is the pic from Flickr, on Flickr Thank you Pluie! Most of these pictures were taken on a...

    Vote for RPOM October

    Thank you *so* much everyone! October wasn't the kindest month to me (I lost my mum unexpectedly, her memorial service was on Monday) so seeing little Coca's face heading up the forum today gave me a huge smile! :heart:

    Myco "Hiccups"

    Thank you! Muffie has had a very bad prior resp infection. When I initially posted this I was trying to figure out if we needed to dash for a vet, or if there was something more to just hiccups. So far it is completely silent, no sneezing, no creps. Thank you again. :D

    Myco "Hiccups"

    A physician once told me that when he responded to a paediatric case, he had two jobs to do. The first was to diagnose and treat the child, the second was to reassure, encourage and educate the mother, so that she could go on looking after the child. He had people drive 200km to see him. I...

    Cabbage questions.

    Cabbage questions.

    Victoria, it often isn't what one has to say that is offensive, but the way one chooses to say it. Tic tac anyone? I admitted to being new to rat ownership, I've been trying to find good information to help me (I'm on this forum for example), and despite being helped by some of Debbie D's...

    Myco "Hiccups"

    I'm glad it's not just me! For me trying to learn about ratties has been like learning to be a mum all over again! - (When do you give Tylenol and when do you RUNNNNNN, when is it teething and when is it an ear infection?) Actually it's harder, these little ones tend to mask their symptoms -...

    Cabbage questions.

    For the most part I agree with your caveats but I don't know that I'll agree with your conclusions. I used Debbie Ducommun's advice in her book on a question of cabbage - not on home euthanasia. I will clearly and emphatically state that I cannot agree with her stance on it - and only suppose...

    Cabbage questions.

    In Rats - Practical Advice from the Expert, Debbie Duccomun lists raw red cabbage and raw brussels sprouts on the forbidden list. (Sorry, I'm still new enough to this to need a 'guru' :giggle: )

    Rescue Opinion Please?

    Just a little follow up on this one .... Jac was in for more surgery because the lump in his groin (they initially thought was a hernia) seems to be a growth. He's really young to be having growths, so it isn't looking as though he is going to be adopted out - for his sake and for the sake of...

    Myco "Hiccups"

    Thank you so much for the insight here - I appreciate your wisdom. Muffie went down soooooooooo quickly when she got sick - we had 24 hours. Now I feel like I'm walking a fine line between vigilance and neurosis! So I can't tell you how much it helps just having someone with previous...

    Myco "Hiccups"

    If it helps, the information in the book is on page 5 (14th edition) in the left hand column near the bottom of the page ... :( Thank you!

    Myco "Hiccups"

    Muffie has had two bouts of 'hiccups' over the past couple of days. The Rat Health Care book says that these are sneezing jags - symptomatic of myco. Having nursed Muffie through her secondary in July, this is not entirely surprising although it still makes me feel so sad for her. She is only 8...
