Re: Rehab-ing a rescue
Thanks all, that helps my confidence a little bit.
He will be at the vet at the smallest sign of an issue but I don’t think I’d like to put him through the stress of a visit just for a checkup. Although the vets I use are the ones always recommended for hams in the area, and they’ve been very helpful, I don’t have perfect confidence in their expertise sometimes, particularly if I have no symptoms to give them.
Teeth look fine, he eats well, nails are grand, ears look a little dry maybe so I’m on the lookout for symptoms of mites but nothing definitive yet, could not be described as crusty or flaky. Improved diet and not sleeping in a tiny plastic box might help their condition.
