Hi all,
We made it to the Vets without Houdi managing to do his escape
thing..:) My original Vet )from when I first had rats) is back from
having her kids. WOOHOO She was great with Houdi and Harry. She gave
them both a thorough going over. Houdis bumble foot is being treated
with Trisul twice daily and she gave me stuff to lightly scrub his
bumbles. Its called Hibiclens. I have to wet a wad of cotton wall and
then dab some hibiclens on it and gently rub his back feet. She says
it should clear in about 2 weeks and not to panic if the bumbles burst
and/or fall off. ( about now I am feeling ill myself)..LOL. Harry has
good old Vibravet to take and he just licks that off your finger like a
good wee man. We are also dosing them all for Mites as Harry has been
scratching around his neck again. So fingers crossed all goes well for
my wee fellas. :))
As it was a hot day and a long drive they had grapes and watermellon.
By the time we got there their house was a mess with all the tissues
dyed purple.. Bless their wee piggy butts.
Kind regards to all.
BTW Joanne, I gave my Vet the copy of the Medication Chart she was
thrilled. She said she had some lists but was always glad of different
ones as well..:)

Geez....
I can't believe I actually said Cotton Wall...ACK... and I am a
Librarian..OMG... OK folks for the record I meant WOOL..LMAO.
For those interested the trip to the Vets for Two Ratties = 20 Dollars
for consultation 10 dollars for each guy..:)
Hibiclens 5 dollars. 2 Trisul tablets enough for 2 months of treatment
should he need it. 6.30 dollars and a tube of vibravet 23.30. giving a
grand total of $54.60.
I think this is a good price what do you all think?

That's it! I'm moving to NZ!!!!
I did the currency converter because I figured you are writing in NZD so
for Canada that would be $39.73 for Americans this means: $34.07 and for
the UK kids: 19.62 pounds!! Unless of course You've already changed it
over to USD. So if it's $54.60USD, That's it! I'm moving to NZ
anyways...lol It would have cost me for sure well over $100CAD.

Well there you go...LOL. Its the start of Autumn now and its getting
quite chilly now..:( The Ratties are starting to get blankies in their
house at night for added warmth. We didn't get much of a summer at all
this year. It came and went and I am still waiting for it...LOL
