This month has been really slow going for me, lots of things happening at once..so much I feel the need to make this post to get it off my chest.
Ignore spelling mistakes ^^

A couple weeks ago Koda got really sick. She was throwing up anything she ate as well as panting and shivering and having horrible diarrhea and constipation. We brought her to the vet. They checked her out but they couldn't give us an answer other than that she probably got into something she shouldn't have..we think she got somehow got into the garbage and ate a large amount of spicy chili :C. She started getting better about two weeks after it started thank god..I was really worried.

Then about a week after Koda got sick Mystique my eldest rat who will have been with us three years December 18th started having mild vaginal bleeding (rats do not bleed when they go into heat..and even if they did she is too old to go into heat anymore)
I've been really worried since that it could be a tumor in her vaginal cavity but the vet thinks it may just be a urinary tract infection so she is on antibiotics and I haven't noticed blood since. Beside that Mystique is doing very well for her age..shes still very active and lively, never misses meal time I have high hopes that she be doing well at age four! Lola my other rat (three years in July) keeps getting blocked milk ducts, which isn't such a big deal they aren't hurting her and are fairly easy to get rid of..right now she looks like some sort of creepy anthro rat with saggy boobs LOL..she is also on antibiotics for that However, on a lighter note..my litter has been born!!!! I finally found a good rat breeder in Vegas who I've been talking to and plan to get some masked babies from! The litter was born on Thursday and won't be ready to go home for another 7ish weeks but I'll probably go visit them to reserve one within the next 4 weeks. This is the Rattery (she doesn't keep it super updated ) [link]
Also Ratzen Mauzers really needs some foster parents for some baby rats right now and we may possibly foster a group of baby girls..going today to see them!

Aside from the pet stuff I've also been sick for the last month..its seems to be getting worse everyday. I think its a flu. My headaches have been getting a lot worse, now I've been getting one REALLY bad one everyday...its torture. I have a MRI scheduled for December 18th which also is my 16th Birthday. To be honest I'll be relived if it turns out to be a tumor or something..that means there is hope I won't live to have these headaches forever. Almost nothing works to get rid of them even the stronger pain pills. My doctor told me if I keep taking the amount of ibuprofen I take a day (probably about 3 on a good day and 9-12 on a bad day) that my liver is going to be completely fried by the time I reach 20. The pain of a headache is much stronger than the worry of a ruined organ unfortunately.
My dad got laid off from work 2 weeks ago, he was really loyal to the company (he is a union carpenter) and stayed with them through the really slow times..and even still they let him go. Fortunately for us he was able to find more work quickly and is back to getting a steady paycheck but Christmas will certainly be a lighter this year, my parents are working to save money encase this should happen again.
All I'm asking for is dog training to save Koda's dog on dog aggression from getting any worse..she is well behaved and happy to make new friends until a dog wants to sniff her butt too long, then she goes into Cujo mode and pins them to the ground. Needless to stay we don't take her to the dog park anymore..

Ok I'm done
