Well, Unut went into the vet today to get altered, the other two were *very* upset about this. Soon as I walked in from dropping Unut off, Daphne had her ears pricked in my direction with a very intense look like "Where's the baby!!"

I wait up, and it's taking much longer to hear back from them than I was told. DURING surgery they were all "Where's the Uterus?" and it turns out Unut is a boy, but is so young the testes are bitty and hard to find. He would have had to have through the belly surgery anyway, as his testes haven't dropped, but man, what a way to find out... poor kid! Although because he was neutered before they dropped, we get to avoid the whole male dominance/digging/spraying issues of teenagerdom altogether. w00t! However, because they were looking for girly bits initially, his urethra (I so wouldn't know that word if it wasn't for King Of The Hill) got tugged a little and there's a little blood in his pee, but they said that should go away.

Unut's sewed up tummy is about the saddest thing to behold, right now.Poor baby! And he is SO sleepy. He's curled up with his plushie right now in his private cage, being uber groggy. He's high on pain meds, and the thing is to get him to eat. Normally he's a piggie, but he wants nothing to do with it right now. He gets meds twice a day for a week to prevent infection, since his immune system is a bit off -low white blood cells. He's also got to be just him and his plushie for 7 to 10 days in the healing cage.

He already pooped ,but if there is more blood in his urine, I need to call them asap. Few can say they've been spayed *and* neutered. Unut's special! I hope he takes meds as easily as Daphne did after her surgery... *crosses fingers* Here's to a very fast recovery for our little gender bender!

And yes, we're leaving the name the same even though he's named after a goddess. We're all about the gender bending over here. Besides, a Pharaoh named himself after Unut and so can our bunny, lol. Boy's so pretty everybody thinks he's a girl. "Who's mommy's little visual kei glam rocker, yes him is!" Unut sounds pretty gender neutral to those not in the know too, so it works.
