She is there and I am here! LOL They are going to take that small tumor on her other side off if the spay goes ok. It is very small so I am not to concerned right now, but if they can save her a surgery. they are all shocked over how big her belly is. I told there she is chubby and low. Hopefully no babies in there my poor girl was so sweet and laying on me just shaking. I hope she pulls through I am so nervous for her right now.

No babies in there. I got a play by play of the surgery from carrie. She is awake now but a big groggy still. Hopefully she is ok. I can pick her up at 2pm. She said she would try to get pictures for me! LOL so excited about that

She is home now back in her cage with a bowl of ensure. She was already eating lab blocks so she is eating already.
No babies and they went ahead and took out the lump that she had on her other side. So she had two procedures done today and 3 within the last week.
She is a bit slow moving but pretty quick considering what she went through.
In the spoiler is pictures of her uterus. They are a lot bigger than I thought they would be!

Here is to hoping that she can enjoy life and can stay surgery free for the rest of it.
The new tumor was extremely small, maybe half the size of a pea. They were shocked that I found it. LOL I told them if there is a lump on a rat i will find it fast. I check them often.

She is shaved from her crotch area up her tummy to both of her sides. It seems to be a bit itchy for her she is licking it a lot. I dont think it was PICA, just annoying for her. I just dosed her up with metacam she went nuts over the syringe so i had to take a video.
Metacam is the only med my rats will rub their face on the ground to. To me it smells like urine so i am sure it tastes foul. She has been acting fine, wondering around the cage watching the boys out on the floor last night and hanging out.

I have some of that aveeno fragrance free lotion, do you think it would be ok or would help to put a bit on her belly away from her incisions?
I treated her with revo when we brought her home so that part is covered. I am sure the shaved is a bit itchy for her.

She's probably licking off the betadine or whatever they used before the surgery. I wouldn't worry as long as you give a decent metacam dose she should be fine.

WOW, I have never seen a rat before that would willingly take metacam, much less one that actually liked it!
Wonderful that she is doing so well!

She had stitches but she removed them already brat girl

I may start some table top intro's next week it should give her enough time to heal up. I am so excited for them all. She seems like a feisty girl so I hope that means she can control them

Tomorrow I am gonna start switching cage parts. Since i can open it up and close other parts let them get to know each others smells. That will give me an idea how Fabian will handle it wont it? Jo? LOL I just fear he will fight more over it.

I am not so sure how this will work. I opened her part up, closed the bottom section put her in it. The boys were in her litter box and fabian was being a tool. He will be neutered on april 24th. I wont leave her alone that long though. I can try some table top tomorrow i am off and see how it goes but I know they will be scared and until we get in this room I wont see his true colors. What do you suggest? I cant have a cage brawl over them being in her part of the cage.

Since we are now an intro thread I moved it to behavior! Don't want Jo to miss it!
As usual they are terrified. I gave a box, they hid in it. I put the hospital cage on the table and they had a bit of life.
They did smell her a lot more than finley, I remember they didnt smell him much
You can hear the intense teeth chattering in this one :laugh4:

They were ok in the cage mostly, I only allowed them a little bit of time in there due to how fabian is.

So... in the videos, looks pretty awesome. The chattering is usually due to high stress and anxiety. When a male does it and it's usually as loud as Cordelia's, that's when I stop all intros cause something usually is about to happen. Fabian didn't seem like a jerk in the videos? He did have some chatter but not much, not very loud, he was scared with the rest of them.
