But: gah. You should've asked someone who'd ever had pets before; animals almost always get dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening. That's how it works pretty much everywhere. It wouldn't even occur to me to try to do it the other way if it were for anything other than routine vaccinations. Guess it's one of those things you learn over the course of having 394839438 pets.
I've done rodent surgery, it takes hours to recover enough to move them. I am disappointed that NO ONE told you to come home and wait for them to call you later.
If Guil refuses to drink, inject her with saline. It helps against dehydration.
She's drinking again now, and she licked a little bit of peanut butter a minute ago. I think she'll do better, but she's still in a lot of pain. The vet is going to give me painkillers for her, I should actually head down there soon...
Hey, I have that t-shirt. My friend in Boston got it for me for Christmas. I wore it out to San Francisco where my sister's friend's husband went, "Does your shirt say 'save the ta-tas'?" When he was informed it did, he went, "Now that's a cause I can get behind!" Not in a skeevy way, neither, it was all good.
I'm so sorry to hear about poor Guildenstern. Nice rats don't deserve tumors. Poor dear.
Oh! Yes, two pink-eyed whites (so lab rats basically). Since they're basically identical, we named them Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, even though they're sisters. Rosencrantz is on my lap right now, running around exploring.
