Ratpunzel for Special

[tiffers]

...these were taken yesterday, while Bianca was hospitalized. We were able to trim about 1/2 of the cyst off this time, but not much...it looks a little better today, but is still pretty gross.

I'm thinking, when Ratpunzel's time comes...we may remove it after death and send it off to see what it is. I've not decided yet, but I won't do it while she still has a life to live. Anesthesia is too risky for her...

It grew fast since you trimmed it last, didn't it? Wonder what that thing is...

Yes, it really did...and we were curious if it'll grow faster each time we trim it. It really doesn't make sense, because she can't feel us trimming it...it's just cystic material on the outside. It's the strangest thing.

Awww......what a funny rattie she is! Thanks for the pics, she looks great, curves and all! How old is Ratpunzel?

[tiffers]

Uhm...I think maybe 2.5 to 3 years now? She's getting up there in age.

She ran in her wheel this morning...finally. I also offered her a dog treat and she went crazy for it, so hopefully...she'll continue to perk up.

Such a chubby wee cutie!
