Hi all,

I have just brought Max home from the Vets. He is quite happy as is
Pinto who went with him for courage..:) It turned out to be a Cyst and
judging by the size of the wound it was a large one. He has stitches
which I said wouldn't stay in. She said to bring him back in 10 days
for removal,...LOL He also has a weeks supply of antibiotics to take.
I still have Max and Pinto in a separate cage for now but I am not sure
what I should do. I think he would be happier with the other boys but I
don't want them removing his stitches for him... Another option is to
separate off 1 of the levels in the big house and just have Max and
Pinto living together for a few days just to give his stitches a chance
to heal. What says ye all?.. opinions appreciated please.

The cost for surgery and antibiotics was $113.95 the price has gone
up... hmmm. Thanks for the kind thoughts one and all.

Regards A very relieved Kate.

I think that's the best idea to seperate off the levels - I've done that
before and it works out quite well.

Sending little Max well wishes for a quick recovery :o)
