I wonder if you could pad those areas with some extra fur groomed from him (or another bun)?

I would have done the same thing! No harm in treating for both. It can take some time for the EC treatment to work but hopefully she starts feeling better soon!  It does sound like you caught it pretty early so I bet he will feel better soon.

Spaying should really help with this! It does take some time to settle but it should get better. Would it be possible to block off the couch with an x-pen so she can still exercise in the meantime? Or at least attach another pen to her enclosure so she can have a bit more space in the meantime.

I’m glad they are doing so great!   Any precautions don’t hurt, better to be as safe as possible. Mine seem to nudge each other a lot/ put their head down before grooming but not always. Sometimes spontaneous like a greeting or just back and forth when they are laying together. Sounds like the running away after zoomies was residual playing, or j…[Read more]

Update… boys have been together a full 48 hours and things have been great.  No issues that I can see.  I think I am still goi g to do one more night because I am so nervous. The two things I want to ask and be sure about before move in….

Will they always nudge before grooming? Or do they just start grooming without laying head under chin?…[Read more]

OMG Wick and Fable, that photo is hilariously pathetic! Awww.

Azerane, I hope Apollo feels better soon.

Apollo was a bit off again this evening so he’s had another dose of metacam. I went back and flicked through today’s camera footage to discover he didn’t eat any pellets and Luna single-handedly ate all the pellet meals by herself, that’s a total of 3/4 cup of pellets, lol. Will be interesting to see what she weighs tomorrow 🤣

Checked yesterday’s…[Read more]

So now I decided to let them out of the closet into the bathroom that connects to one of their areas. The mounting seemed to be under control where Snoopy could get her to stop. I won’t leave them unsupervised yet but they are confusing me! They are playing around together, kinda ignoring. One mount attempt Snoopy chased her away but not too mean.…[Read more]

LBJ10, Apollo basically never used to stop shedding, he used to have two major sheds every year that kind of just rolled into each other, Luna was a quick couple week shed and then done. Last year Apollo didn’t have his normal shed pattern, and I’m not sure Luna shed much if at all, so maybe that’s why or if it’s just age, health issues or a…[Read more]

You’re definitely doing the right thing treating for both. I’ve even been told that the E.c test requires two seperate blood tests a week apart to compare the titre levels. No time to wait for that so going straight to treatment is really the best option in my opinion.

E.c can be tricky and present in many different ways, it also usually gets…[Read more]

Overnight went well. They just slept again as far as I could tell. However they are still distant this morning so it’s really confusing how to proceed. It does seem like they’ve made progress this weekend so feels like a reason to continue. But in some ways I’m not certain they have?

I did pet Snoopy again once this morning when she tried to…[Read more]

It is fine to treat for both ear infection and EC without confirmation. Maybe even a better route because you get treatment faster and bun may feel better sooner. At the end of the day, it depends on what the root cause is though.

I would’ve opted out of the test too and asked them to go ahead and treat asap. When an animal is acutely ill, you dont really want to wait for tests to come back before you start treatment.

Treatment for an ear infection is antibiotics. Antibiotics can be given together with the most commonly used EC med, Panacur and some vets opt to treat EC…[Read more]

I don’t want to get too excited but my boys and I had our first 24 hour stretch this time around.  It went great. No issues at all and I even slept some.  Snuggling, flopping, lots of mutual grooming, eating, playing with toys, sharing litterbox, eating, playing with the same toy together. I fell asleep shortly and woke up and thought they jum…[Read more]
