Recovery

13th May 2009

YYyaaaayyy!!!! I’m so happy to see both Dee Dee & Brain are doing much much better!

Brain already seemed better after a day of antibiotic. Now she lives on her own & is already her old self, running on the wheel & climbing the cage bars. The reason why she’s alone is because when I tried to put her back with her sister, Pinky, after a 24-hour separation, I guess Pinky doesn’t remember her anymore? Pinky kept picking fights with Brain even after I’ve continually stopped Pinky.

I can see the improvement with Dee Dee after a day of antibiotic, too! It’s amazing what these antibiotic can do, huh? Whenever I try to give her the antibiotic though, she always struggles, I guess that shows the old girly still has long ways to go :-D No more clicking noises when she’s breathing & I can see that she can breathe a lot easier now (before, I could see her back going up & down rapidly as she was trying to inhale). She doesn’t like me syringe feeding her with drinks & food, but I don’t mind because Dee Dee is eating & drinking on her own.

I think they will all be okay, thanks to the wonderful wonderful vets & all of the best wishes.

Another interesting thing, I bought some baby food, pureed carrots & pureed peas, all of the hamsters love them! Except for Dee Dee. I guess Dee Dee is like one of those old ladies who is set in her ways :-) I know I shouldn’t have favorites, but she’s my favorite Russian Campbell.

    Excellent news! I’m really glad they’re both better now :)

    I often read that when 1 of a bonded pair goes to the vet, there’s a chance of the bond breaking because the one that goes to the vet comes back home with a different scent and is not recognised by it’s bonded mate. Because of that, I try to bring my bonded bunnies to the vet together. Maybe once Brain loses the smells from the vet, Pinky will stop fighting her..
