Health update

Just a short update this time because four of the degus are healthy

Jack (degu)

Jack lost a small patch of fur and has developed a small lump, it’s not looking like cancer but it’s going to be removed the next time he goes in for a dental (probably in the next few weeks) unless it changes in appearance before then and it’ll be sent off for analysis.

Mocha (hamster)

Mocha isn’t doing so well, he’s 2 years and nearly 3 months old now. He’s been to the vet more in the last month than in the previous two years. He’s lost a lot of fur, his skin is dry and he’s developed some balance problems. It could be any number of things, we’re trying a treatment which we’re hoping will help and if it does it’ll rule out some of the possibilities.
