Bandit's latest picture
Poor guy. We are so mean...
We aren't trying to humiliate him. This is educational, for people who might be considering this surgery, so they know what happens. Really.
In seriousness, you can see that the vet used stainless steel sutures to prevent chewing, and you can see that it is looking nice and clean. Sometimes the area will abscess, but he is on Bactrim to hopefully prevent that, too.

Posted by: colleen at March 20, 2006 01:11 AMOuch!
I think the vet used glue-stitches on Riff - either way, Riff looks a lot worse than that! The bit around his bum is all bruised and black :(
Bandit does look pretty good, for a recently "snipped" rattie. He's just got the cutest little face. I hope he stops nipping soon.

Kinda back online after my anti-rat roasting - tentatively.....
