Inca has her Spay/Removal - Update 7/6

[lilspaz68]

Well she hasn't opened it much more, but she's sooo active, and this is the side she runs from, climbs from, jumps from. She's too active for her own good but you really cannot stop her. :roll:

It's at the icky stage of healing...blech.

But she's cheeky and bright and doing well.

Except her stumpy side is always so itchy...and she cannot reach, so I sometimes have to help out.

What a brat! I'd leave it. It looks pretty good anyways. I remember once that happened to my mom's rat. He had a huge keratin cyst removed from his chest. It opened right up. Mom and I were freaking out, I drove them back to the vet in such a rush... only to have the vet say, ya, that happens, it's in a bad spot, just leave it. UGH! lol

 

[lilspaz68]

That's what I thought. I am not even rinsing it since Inca is keeping it clean very diligently. She's not obsessive just gently thorough.

I took more pics after cleaning her cage.

In her cube

Coming out to patrol...this is when she would be guarding her cage. You couldn't touch the sides and even changing the water bottle had to be done carefully. She was fast and would leave slashy bites on my fingers.

But her attitude towards me seems to have changed so much, I decided to test my theory and possibly sacrifice my fingers. LOLOL

Awwwww....

You put your fingers in her cage?!?!?!?! Goodness that was brave!

She looks fantastic!

I've missed Inca's updates for the last week or so. How is she doing now? All healed up?

of course not LOLOL

The incision is healing very well though, and the attitude change is sticking :heart:

 

[crumbilina]

I just love that second picture SO much!

:heart: Inca!

 

[mamarat]

What a doll!

 

[hopefloats]

I am so glad to see that she is doing so much better! I love her she is adorable.

 

[Nickelrat]

I love happy endings. :joy: But Inca sure gave us all heart attacks. lol

 

[M0onkist]

LoL, more like heart failures!

I love that second photo where she's resting against your hand - it's crazy just how radical a personality shift she underwent!

 

[lilspaz68]

The incision has opened up a bit because she is more active but its still healing amazingly well.

BUT she has a lump...is it a seroma (fluid buildup) or a recurrence? I guess I'll just have to watch and see.

It's sure not stopping her from anything. :laugh4:

 

[crumbilina]

Glad to see she is running again! Yay Inca!

Can't wait to play next time I see her! I'll bring another fluffy pipecleaner... what other colour does she look good in? lol
