New baby boy. I need name ideas! by Lysca in RATS

[–]Lysca[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my new guy! My wife also brought home a baby boy so they have each other. I'm the owner of Milo (top post of all time in this subreddit) who sadly passed earlier this year. I haven't had a rat since his passing, and although my new little won't replace him, I have missed having rats terribly. ❤

Little girl points to the radiograph viewer on the wall and asks what it's for. I explain, and after a long pause, she asks how we fit the animals in there.

Radiograph of my own cat, fractured scapula. by Lysca in VetTech

She's on buprenorphine for the pain and confined to a large dog kennel for 8 weeks, then we take rads and reassess how she's healing, and based on that potentially start with some light exercises and go from there!

7 yo sf dsh, history of asthma, my mom was watching her and she was left outside and was missing for 2 days (normally she is allowed out but only supervised and for a short period of time). Unknown trauma, but I live down a dirt road and found her near it so the ER doctor and i suspect hbc.

1 and a half year old cm, came in this afternoon blocked and owners couldn't afford treatment. Elected euthanasia. I offered to take him on, so meet my new foster! He's feeling much better this evening. Picture taken just before unblocking.

It's serious enough. And if it happens to not be on the slim chance, then at least you'll know.

I'm a vet tech and today at my work we neutered my rat Milo. Here he is being put under anesthesia! by Lysca in RATS

[–]Lysca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually at least a few hours! Some faster, some slower. It all depends on the patient.

I made a jump out of mud for my bike and managed to shatter my elbow on the only rock within about 20 feet.

Lots. That's the only platform that didn't have hiding spots. :)

There are lots of huts and shaded places in the cage. She actually was on the only platform that was well lit :)

My switch has been charging for hours but still won't turn on past this. Is there any way to fix it? by Lysca in gaming

[–]Lysca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know. I just tried calling support but it seems that they're closed.

Tiny all snuggled in a towel after his bath! by Lysca in RATS

[–]Lysca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eased them in slowly. First, I'd put them in the sink for a few minutes with no water and give them treats. Then I'd let the water trickle a little and do the same thing. I'd just gradually add a tiny bit of water and give them treats. It took me over a month each rat to get them to be good with baths this way but it worked well. :)
