Harvey has new fur - Photos added at the end!

[Bunsey]

I know it doesn't mean he's getting better, but i'm very pleased with Harvey's new fur, which he appears to have grown overnight (maybe to do with his weird fluctuating steroid levels??)!!

It is REALLY dark cream, like in this pic:

It's grown in little patches all over his body!

Some parts of his skin are starting to have a silvery look. no idea what that's about. :?

So pleased to hear Harvey is having some remission and growing a bit of a coat Bunsey. Heres hoping he feels well too :D

[Spuds Mum]

Im sure he feels much better about sporting some new hair Bunsey, I noticed when Spud (mink) grew hair back after losing some it was a totally different colour to the rest of his fur, and sort of looked like some weird toupe sitting on his butt! :D

Hope Harvey remains well for as long as possible x

Aww, he's adorable - looks nice and fluffy.

What's wrong with him? :?

[Bunsey]

well ever since he first got it, he has seem nearly 100% fine in himself. he's just more tired and even doesn't come out to play occassionally. He only has physical symptoms. He wants to play so much, but has to have lots of rests. It's like they're trapped inside a rotting body that just won't do what they want it to do.

That was what Bunsey was like. At the end she would walk one length of the room then have to go in. She wanted to follow me so much. i had to walk just 1 step every few seconds so she could keep up. She loved to follow her mamma.

I want to have Harvey PTS a little before the stage Bunsey got to. It's very hard when they're "play play mamma" though. It's easier said than done. Two days before she was put down, with 2 big infected sores, Bunsey used all the energy she had to climb onto my hand

Aww, he's adorable - looks nice and fluffy.

Cushings disease Bailey. That pic is of him at 6m. He's 2 yrs now and he has been 100% bald apart from a skirt. He has quite advanced cushings.

I'm so sorry to hear that Bunsey - I never knew. :(

Harvey has more tufts! he is looking very good (well, he'd actually scare small children, but in comparison to what he DID look like). His belly has a covering of soft fur. He's very soft and nice compared to previous dry, flakey crustiness.

Although people coming in and saying "what's that smell" is starting to wear a little thin :roll:

Aww, it's really nice that Harvey is beginning to improve - hopefully it indicates that he is feeling a bit better too.

Bless his little heart!

[Jane]

I'm glad he's starting to improve. Do you think he's feeling a bit better too? :) I hope so! x

[agatecrystal]

Im glad he's improving, I bet he feels a lot better having a bit more fur!

[Bunsey]

he seems the same in himself, but i like him having his fur. it's not very nice to cuddle a scabby, dry, flakey, crusty ham

Aww the wee lamb. As long as he is feeling OK in himself he is just a hamster with only his underwear on Bunsey :wink: At least he is still happy to come out and have his treats. keep that fur growing Harvey.

What a superb way of putting it, souffle :wink:

Go Harvey, get growing - you are so cute!

[Bunsey]

[agatecrystal]

Glad he is doing better with his new fur, Keep it up Harvey!

[sarahh]

Aww bless him. He does look like he is recovering well. Poor little boy. I hope he continues to improve.

Awww Harvey lambikins. How sweet he looks. I am pleased to hear he feels a bit heavier too. And such a well-loved teddy bear he looks - I could just give him such a love :D

[Bunsey]

he is my teddy :D I don't know if a ham has ever been so squished and squeezed as my Harv :lol:

[Mollz]

Oh look at poor little Harvey.
At least he is growing some hair back and SM's description of him is perfect and obviouly quite true too.
