degu – Silly Degu

Daniel may not have been the most observant degu, or the smartest, but that didn’t stop him being the best

It’s a bit of good news/bad news situation. The results came back today for the lump Jack had removed last Friday. It was cancer. We’re cautiously optimistic that it’s all been removed, it was a locally aggressive type which had a low risk of spreading. There is a chance that it could come back, this is less likely as it was grade 1. The surgery site is healing well. He has been given a prognosis of fair.

Jack is back home after his surgery to remove the lump, he’s come round from the anaesthetic well. The lump is being sent off for analysis, once we have the results we can figure out the next step.

Today’s silly degu: Sam

The degus share their wheels and often join in while someone’s already running on the wheel. Usually they either jump on in the direction the wheel is going and join in, or they jump on in the opposite direction try to start running and the wheel rapidly stops.

Today Jack was running on the wheel, Sam jumped on but perpendicular to the way it was going and started being rolled along
