Tubby’s Bruised Nose

1st July 2008

Yesterday while Tubby had his daily out-of-the-cage exercise, he went back to his cage by himself!!!! He’s rarely done this (maybe once every 3 months) & I suspected that something’s wrong. So, I picked him up & noticed that his nose is bruised. I don’t know what happened & what caused it. I didn’t want to put any ointment, because the bruise is on his nose .. he might not like the smell, might rub it off, or might even lick it. So I left him alone & kept a watchful eye on him.

He’s himself today. In fact, his nose isn’t so red anymore. I don’t think the bruise bothers him at all. He always sits in the corner of the cage, with his begging look, his nose pressed against the cage .. which is what I don’t want him to be doing. No soreness, but I’ll keep monitoring his nose. Tubby is the fearless, bold one. Who doesn’t know any pain. He’ll jump anywhere he can gain height. I’m always afraid that one of these days he’ll break his leg or something.
