ratcreature | Oskar's still hanging in there (Reply)

The good news is that there is still no wound infection as far as I can see and no further pulled staples, so it looks like there won't be any emergency weekend visits needed after all. The bad news is that he still seems to feel really crappy. Basically the whole day yesterday he just huddled in his sleeping space and he didn't eat his regular food, and I haven't seen him drinking either, however he did eat the quarter of a boiled egg I offered him, a fairly big piece of rice waffle, and ate the cucumber I offered for something watery when I didn't see him drink. He peed a fair amount too judging by all the wet bedding I removed yesterday and this morning (and going by the stains it's the normal light colored pee too -- I bet you are just thrilled be updated on my rat pee monitoring, heh), so I'm not that worried about dehydration yet. Still, he could be better. Sigh.
