Last night I got Yoshi out of his cage and his foot was all bloody and swollen. I noticed that he had a rather deep cut on his foot and he was limping. I then noticed he had a slight cut on his tail as well but it looked more like a graze. He was limping and I could tell he was in pain but there was nothing I could do as it was like 11 o'clock at night. However I did block off the floors and take his wheel out and I knew I had to take him to the vet asap.
So I woke up this morning and booked an appointment because it had gotten even worse and he was walking so slowly.
They think it may have been a brain tumour(Although it could have been something else but there was definitely something wrong internally) which caused his eye (I made a post in the past about his eye) and he seemed to have chewed his foot and started to chew his tail. I got 3 options for what to do.....1.Have his foot and tail removed and get his eye treated just in case it wasn't a brain tumour. 2.Have some painkillers for 2 days so I can say goodbye or 3.Have him put down there and then. I wanted what was best for Yoshi so I decided to have him put down because I didn't want him to suffer any more. This was the third time I have taken him to the vets but with just the eye they couldn't tell that it was something more serious than that, the last time I was just told it was a cataract.
I did think there was something wrong with him because he would always run in circles and he was very jumpy and was rather clumsy and obviously his eye.
R.I.P Yoshi
Hope you had a good life, you were taken too early at just 10 months old :(
You will be missed!
I remember when I had just got you, you were so ickle.
