Hoof Prints

Life, how I view it, how unpredictable it is and how it can end up kicking you right in the ass.

Sick, Sick, Sick
I have been really busy looking after sick humans and pets. First it was my mom who fell ill. She was in hospital for a while but now she's home and on the road to recovery. Then, Zack decided to go off his food and water which was really worrying. Was about to give him an IV when the vet said to try and force feed him water first. That worked, for a while. Now whenever Zack sees a syringe, he runs under the nearest table to hide. I don't blame him.... Even I was sick of forcing him to drink it.
Yesterday night, my hamster was very sick. The vet said he might not pull through but just when she said that, he turned around and bit her. So I'm quite confident Stuart will live. Stuart was the runt of the litter and he has always been small. But what he lacks in size he makes up for in brains, looks and character. Fingers crossed that he'll pull through.
The only pets that are healthy at the moment are the cats and Waffles the other hamster. Let's hope that they stay that way.
