ratcreature | wish Ignatz luck (Reply)

I'm just back from dropping my poor rat Ignatz off with the vet, and he'll be operated on in a couple of hours, sometime around noon, so if any of you can spare him some good wishes, he could really use them. He's fairly old for a rat and the tumor/abscess/growth/whatever it'll turn out to be is largish (though it didn't grow much since last week) and in a tricky spot being right on his vulnerable throat (or maybe his thyroid if it's a tumor). They'll call me around four in the afternoon to tell me how it went, and if all goes well I can bring him back home late this afternoon. Meanwhile Emil is still sleeping and hasn't noticed yet that I didn't bring his brother with me when I came back. I really hope all will go well. *is a nervous wreck*
