Luke update - intros a success!!

[mamarat2]

Mr Luke will be going in for a neuter on November 12th.

After a one on one talk with the vet she thinks it would be a good idea too as he is continuing to be aggressive. And from what I can see there is no specific trigger for it, definitely the smell of the other rats, but there are times when he is out and no one else has been in the area (ever) and he has a ballistic moment!!

Off with the nuts!! :wow4:

Ooo, good luck Luke!

I totally agree! Get those stress makers off of him and watch him become a sweet lambie pie!!

I have some vague hope that three weeks after the surgery I can intro him into the neutered boy/girl cage. :goodidea:

 

[mamarat]

Good luck, Luke.

Be a good boy Luke-kins and don't try to irritate your stitches!

I wouldn't call it vague, there's a high likelihood of it. :thumbup:

Just don't get discouraged if it takes longer than three weeks... as I'm sure you know that with some boys it can take longer.

Good luck to you and Luke! Bye bye gonads!

 

[Melissa]

Well, they do say boys are a bit slower at a lot of things, lol...

 

[mamarat2]

Bumped the mans' neuter back up a little earlier

 

[mamarat2]

Going to go pick the neutered man up now! Vet called me an hour or so ago, came through surgery fine and just looks miserable Poor boy, sorry Luke.

 

[jorats]

Yay!! Luke will soon be on his way to becoming a sweetheart!

 

[lilspaz68]

Awww poor Lukie, de-manned.

Glad to hear that he is just fine, albeit groggy and confused.

Cuddles to him if he will allow

 

[mamarat]

Great news, he'll be a sweetie in no time.

Got him home and he ate some ice cream gotta have a yummy treat on a bad day! He is resting in his hospital carrier, want the drugs to wear off before he goes into his multilevel house. Plus I want him to not be running up and down the ramps for a bit!

Great news!!! I am always happy when they are home, but most happy the day after the surgery. The night after can be very uneventful but sometimes Its not.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... just don't tell Luke about his nuts when he gets home... You know how sensitive men can be about their crown jewels...
