just a couple of misfits.

Some of you may remember my post about my Oogly rat. He was a runt and had an umbilical hernia. He was not the most attractive lil guy hence the name Oogly. ;)

Oogly is growing up and doing well! He still has the hernia but it has reduced in size a bit. I thought I would share a couple pics I took tonight.

I also took a pic of my female rat...Stubs. She was a breeder till she got out one day and when Jeff tried to catch her he had her tail and degloved her. She had to be QT'd so I could monitor it and keep it clean. She is doing great and her tail has healed.


so without further ado...here are a couple of my misfits.

Oogly.

thanks Justin.

Oogly had the herni at birth and it is where the umbilical cord was..the belly button. The hernia is basically just a weakness in the abdomen muscles which lead to a lump. It can be harmful but Oogly seems to be doing fine. I check it every week to see if it hardens or feels different.

The degloving I believe was just about an inch down from the tip of her tail. I put her in her own tub and made sure her aspen was clean at all times.

:)

They ALL look good Memes..:gj:

Ok that clears it up. Did she just grow scar tissue wherethe old tail was, or did it just reattach itself?

Awww, what cute ratties. Especially Oogly! :love: They obviously haven't missed any meals. ;)

it is just the tissue that was under the tail there now. I could have had it snipped off but she healed on her own very well.
