Bandit is doing fine, being a good boy and leaving his stitches alone, and still acting like he's full of testosterone. (Or maybe that one bite meant that he wasn't pleased with what we did to him?)
Rabskuttle went to the vet Friday for a checkup on his wheezes, and we've bumped him up to aminophylline in addition to the zithromycin. He'd lost about 4o grams since his last visit (in late December, I think). Arthur had actually lost more weight...80 g. I could tell he was losing, but since he'd gotten so chubby I wasn't worried. Now, though, I don't want him to lose any more and end up like Kanga.
In many of our rats, as soon as they make it to 2, they start dropping weight. That's why I quit being so concerned about how squishy they are before 2.
In non-rat updates, my computer bit the dust this weekend, so posting may be light until the parts come in for Victor to work his computer magic. (By the way, if you haven't backed up your rat pictures lately, go do it now! I've been a basket case worrying about how many digital pictures I've lost, especially ones of Jim.)

Posted by: Eanna at March 20, 2006 12:13 AMthat is amazing. i just crashed my computer too. a week or two ago, i decided to copy all my pictures to my second harddrive, just the pictures, and then i must have done something because... POOF! suddenly everything in "MY DOCUMENTS" was gone as well as a bunch of dll's. i actually had a recovery program already installed on my second hard drive, but for some reason, one of my folders simply vanished. didn't even come up in the recovery. but i had all my pictures safe and sound... all three thousand or so of them.
give all your grand old men kisses from me and my girls.
