    Raw feeding for dogs

    I've heard that mixing a kibble/raw diet is not recommended. The foods are processed at much different speeds and causes lots of stomach upset. My friend who feeds raw does feed fish, I'm sure, I'll have a peek at her emails and see if I can find out more. Have you tried tripe yet? As for...

    My rat train girls

    For her last tumour removal, she did have a little 'shirt' on that the vet made for her and wrapped her in it, but she tore it apart. It was that stretchy horse wrap stuff, but i don't think he used casting tape. I will ask him about it, for sure. It would be nice to remove it, if we can do it...

    My rat train girls

    Midge is good. She has a big tumour, golf-ball sized on her underbelly. Doesn't stop her for a minute. She drags it up and down the stairs and into the hammock, there's no place she still won't go. She keeps it clean, and it has stopped growing. Since she ripped her stitches out three times...

    My rat train girls

    Just thought I'd update everyone, because she was a Rat Train girl - we had Fat Momma, aka Carn, put to sleep today. She was 672 g when we got her, the big pudge. We will miss her Rolli-polliness. She'll be laid to rest beside her teeny daughter, Pint.

    Bart's tooth.

    I think if he had any idea what he was going to pull out, he WOULD have recorded it! You couldn't really see the end that was poking out, it was just a teeny bit of bone...SO hard to explain. I'm kicking myself for not taking pictures, but it was 7 am and I had to get to work!

    Bart's tooth.

    I don't really know what happened. His teeth shifted last fall and started growing really crooked, like, almost sideways. He's also had an abscess in his face for a couple months. At one point, the vet thought Bart lost one of his bottom teeth, because he said it wasn't there anymore. Then, when...

    Bart's tooth.

    yeah, I remember that. Well, I just hope he gets better. Going in every three weeks to be put under can't be fun, and it's certainly not cheap. But the staff there LOVE him, which is adorable. He certainly gets lots of attention. And I've learned a lot through all of this, which is always...

    Bart's tooth.

    So, I wonder what happened with his to make it actually come out from below his eye....the vet said it's almost like it was growing in reverse, because he couldn't see that tooth from the front anymore, he thought he just lost it. :?

    Bart's tooth.

    Oh, don't misunderstand me, it was NOT BART that was hilarious, it was the way the girls at the vet office almost rushed me with his news when I got there. None of them could keep it a secret and wait for the doctor to tell me! And yes, poor Bart. All through this he's still been the sweetest...

    Bart's tooth.

    This is Bart. Bart has had an abcess in his face (which you can see in the picture) since October-ish, and it was not clearing up, even after trying different antibiotics. He's also been going in every three weeks to have his teeth trimmed, because his bite has been crooked and he hasn't been...

    My Rat Shack dream... prepare for weirdness.

    I love crazy dreams. And for the record, I totally don't look like that, and I'm crazy allergic to grapefruit!!
