New Babies (cute warning!)

[pidgella]

My mischief has gone from 7 to 4, with two not doing too well. My oldest boy, Feet, is seriously showing his age. He'll be 3 in November. He's got serious hind end degeneration, his legs are crossed so severely that it looks like his right is his left and visa verse. However, he's still majorly cuddly, eats, drinks, grooms, bruxes and boggles

Awwww!!! They are so cute!! I'm majorly jealous!! My Oreo also has hind end degeneration. It's not as bad as you describe. He still manages to get around but I can tell it's getting worse. =(

You should see Mr. Feet dragging himself around by his front paws - he can really move! He even tries to climb the cage bars when he thinks he's getting slighted. I've never seen such extreme atrophy before - it's kind of freaky. It also hid the worlds biggest abscess for a while, but I found it before it got to his blood and after a few soaks in warm water (with attendant fear poops), it exploded most vigorously. I think I posted about it on the yahoo group. It responded really well to diluted iodine, and he's all healed up now.
