We've taken several birds there over the years too. |

 Cosmo, one of my rats, is ill. He seems to be losing the use of his back legs and is acting very dozy. Reading up on the net, leg paralysis is a symptom of old age, so I've moved all their food to the bottom level of their palace. I hope he's going to be ok

Awwww! Sorry to hear that Dimrill how old is he?This is what happened to my little sisters first Hamster- She was nearly 5, which is amazing for hamsters! She was so old she'd started to lose her fur aswell and was sooo sweet, we had to buy like a 'nesting box' for her instead because it was a single base and she didn't try the stairs-she'd fallen down once. Poor little ratty

Mine used to hate those things aswell, proper freaked out when I bought them one! poor little buggersCatnip bubbles are great though! Plus they are pretty cool in the fact that they don't pop for ages and the cats chase them. I swear I should be getting money for advertising or something. Going to be applying for a job with the RSPCA or something I think, I'd like to do that-sob my heart out when something dies though

Whew >.< well at least he's got something that can be solved, poor little bugger though-yowch! I wonder if it's to do with sawdust or something???

Vet's not too sure whether it can be solved. He's an elderly rat, so we're just hoping for the best. We don't use sawdust as it can act as an irritant and can hasten a rat's death through breathing difficulties. We use shredded cardboard from a horse bedding shop thing for the base of the cage, with wood based cat litter for their litter tray. |

Good man! I was going to say that may be the cause of the irritation as a lot of people do use sawdust-paper and cardboard based products are much better for them plus sawdust can give them gammy eyes I hear  I hope he does get better anyway, good thing is you know it's not his legs so hopefully he'll sort himself after you bathe him-poor little thing

Cosmo update. He's up and about a bit more now, but he's lost a lot of weight. The sore I found on his belly on Monday is a lot better after just 2 doses of his antibiotics, but the bathing in salt water makes him squeak so it must sting a bit. Feeling rotten having to do it to him, I just wish he'd understand it's to help.

It's a veritable menagerie this end, here is my tally: 1. 'Lucky' my dear old Bull Terrier bitch. She's 9 now which is quite old for a bully and a real couch potato, but a real sweetie. Wouldn't hurt a flea. 2. 'Charlie' my rescue Rottweiler dog. We don't know his age as he was technically a stray; some young lad found him being beaten mercilessly in the street with a stick and 'bought' him for £30 from the 'owner', before handing him to the Rottweiler Rescue Trust. He was in a terrible state, a cowering wreck with entropian and appalling skin allergies for lack of flea treatment, as well as being underweight. He was a cowering wreck with his spirit utterly broken, especially towards men.  Mrs Caveman and I took a 400-mile round trip to rescue him 18 months ago (and he blew chunks in my car all the way home ). Now though he is unrecognisable; a magnificent, towering, handsome, fantastic, confident and headstrong Rottie male, just as it should be. (Mrs Caveman is a whizz with doggies, I don't take the credit on that one).3. 'Louis' our big fat British Blue pussycat - he's nearly as big as Lucky! Very affectionate to humans but not to small fury things in the field and woods (little blighter). 4. 'Leo' our tiny ginger tabby - quarter the size of Louis but as fiesty as you like, and also an accomplished mouser. Cavey |
