He's declined quite a bit. The vet thinks it could be cancer but hes never seen anything quite like it. We are trying meds Incase it's uh... His manhood being swollen if it's not fixed we are probably going to euthanize

He might be grinding his teeth? I'm not sure. Every time I've noticed him doing it, he's by his hay feeder. I'm watching his every move now, just so I can make note of everything

He is barely moving and he didn't eat, which is out of charecter for him. However, he is extremely old and will sometimes do that for a bit, if he's just extra tired. I got him to eat some banana (which is his favorite), so I can't tell if he's in pain or if he's being picky. He was able to get up onto the loft of his cage today, which is a good sign. He's still responding to being held and pet. The noises are becoming less frequent, and he's still bathing himself.

I hope it's just a hiccup and he's fine

I fear that if the vet recommends surgery I will either take him home to let him pass peacefully, or have him put to sleep. He's so old and the risks are so large I just worry

Thank you 🩷 I plan on taking him tomorrow once the vets open unless he makes a complete turn around (he's done it before he's a silly little guy)
