rat woes again, and GIP

[ratcreature]

My poor rat Leo (the one who has been struggling for some months now with antibiotics resistant myco) has stopped eating this weekend. I could coax him to eat a little bit of scrambled eggs today, but he hasn't been eating anything else since yesterday. If this continues, I will have to put him down very soon. :(

So I've been distracting myself from my rat-related heartbreak by finishing that second Highlander icon, for which I'd done the pencils a while ago.

I'm very sorry about Leo. :(

But the icon is adorable.

Leo has been holding on for longer now than my vet thought once antibiotics stopped working, so it's not unexpected that a decline would come, but still. He was doing so well for so long (though I have been bringing him to the vet twice a week for injections to boost his own immune response for the last two months, which has been somewhat taxing for me too with the time and money needed for that), and of course you always hope they'll continue beating the odds.

I'm glad you like the icon. I always thought quickenings looked so silly in that series because so often they went on for quite some time longer than I appreciated.
