Thank you

I like to think he's a happy man. His cage has changed a fair bit since those photo as were taken. I'll try to get some uploaded soon

Thought id do a little update on my Chubster!

He's been through a tough time of it lately eye ulcer, emergency vet for funny noises, scent gland infection, discovery of what was thought to be a scent gland tumour, booked in for an operation, second opinion suggested it may not be a tumour after all, and back home with antibiotics and antiseptic creams and washes.

In spite of all that though, my chubby little man is (touch wood) doing brilliantly.

He's still a cheeky wee monster, who loves his grub and all his treats. He'll run around his cage chasing little bits of peanut or mealworm, and practically dives into his food bowl. His coat is looking shiny and groomed again, now that we've stopped with the saturation of greasy cream, and although his eye still looks sore at times, it doesn't seem to bother him and we keep it nice and bathed.

He loves coming out for cuddles when it suits him. He's usually awake when I am first thing on a Saturday, and he loves hanging about with me for ages. Every time I offer him his cage he runs back on my hand, telling me he's not done yet. He loves roaming about my couch and living room, and also loves climbing the mountains on our unmade bed!

He's now just about a week into his antibiotics and I think I can see them having an effect. He's much more active and even more into his food this usual. He must have been feeling a bit down with the scent gland infection, and the baytril seems to be (fingers crossed) doing the trick.

He gets weighed every morning at this point. He dropped from his chunky 75 to 72, then to 69-71, where he's been hanging about for a couple of months. At almost 18 months, I'm very happy with this steady weight.

He always manages to put a big smile on my face. I just love this wee guy to bits.

Here are some pics
