Update on Rocky, stitches came out yesterday, issue is still not resolved but the vet said it looks better than it did before, he's not in any discomfort, and that we could just keep it lubricated and put it back in each day. Main concern is it drying out and getting cracked, etc, causing infection and pain.

She said she checked with another exotics vet that works at UW, and his thoughts were that it might be genetic, which makes sense since he also has that funny flipped breastbone issue.

So we're feeling a little better and resigned to the extra care he'll need. But surgery is actually more affordable than originally though so it's still a possibility.

Through all of this the little guy has never bit us and just gets sweeter and sweeter. He even escaped his cage the other day and came when he was called!
