cabbitzillaTuesday night one of my babies decided to give me a scare. I did full-bedding changes on both Molly and Winkerton's cages Monday night. I got in from work Tuesday to discover that there were -no- poos in Winkerton's cage, nor wet spots from urination. The water bottle was untouched, the food was untouched, even his beloved carrots had been left sitting. Given that he's my omnomnomnom piggy, that's a pretty serious issue. Off to the emergency vet we go.
Hours later, a fecal mass almost half a golf ball in size had been removed from his poor little behind. The food he'd inhaled wasn't digesting properly and he got all blocked up. Constipation is painful in a human, but it can be quickly lethal to a cavy. I know first hand; it's how I lost Kweepie and there was no way in hell I was letting that happen again. It was worth every penny of the two Benjamins it cost, since Winkie is doing MUCH better and is much happier on his new diet.
In other news, the ComCast tech is slated to work on the trailer Monday morning, which will lock down the last of the 'moving in' issues. All that'll be left is the complete rework of the bathroom, and that'll wait until the summer sometime.
I'm tired. I'm going to go play Civ 4 until I pass out.
EDIT: Oh. IF I should happen to get offed, I wanna be buried in this casket. Just sayin. :)
