Hi all,
My rat Obi is going in for a tumour removal finally, it was supposed to be on the 25th but since it’s grown so rapidly he’s going in tomorrow. In about two weeks it’s gone from the size of a marble to a ping pong ball.
I wanted to ask you all for some tips on what to ask the vets, I know I need to ask about what anaesthetic will be used, how to care for wounds, antibiotics and if I should separate him from his brother- but other then those I don’t know what else to ask. He’ll be getting dropped off in the morning and kept until the evening to make sure he’s okay if that helps.
Also, what can I do to help him heal? I’m going to make him a little sweater out of a sock today to keep him from possibly biting sutures and I have syringes to feed him sugar water and also bought these items:
>http://www.ratwarehouse.com/product/wub_it_to_pieces (easy to eat nutritious ‘mush’)
>http://www.ratwarehouse.com/product/drs_tiny_animals_essentials (vitamins to help his immune system) and http://www.ratwarehouse.com/product/drs_calcivet (calcium supplements.)
Any help is much appreciated!
