Arthur eating yogurt. Don't be alarmed by the red spots...he had some cysts removed last week. Actually, they were sort of like rattie acne, and I wouldn't have worried about them excpt that he had some on his eyelid, and they were obviously annoying him. He was squintier than usual, and totally gunked up with porphyrin. He kept scratching at it, and I was afraid he'd end up with an infection. The vet knocked him out for a minute and lasered the cysts off, and since he was doing the ones on his eyelid, he got the rest of the face too.
So Arthur had plastic surgery, basically. Please don't laugh.

Arthur is beautiful, no matter what, and Misto's little feet look pretty pink in the pic. Thanks for the photos.

As long as Arthur has his self-confidence back, it was worth it! ;) The boys are gorgeous and I'm glad to hear Misto is doing ok. *hugs*

Misto is such a wise old rat, you can tell. And Rab what a dude, you scratch like the best of them. Poor Arthur, DUDE, we promise not to say anything. and Mom still thinks you are "too cute" ~Rodentia
