Another tumor..
Now Oreo ratty seems to have a tumor. Just my luck, huh? Her prognosis should be much better than Skitter's was, though. It shows all the signs of being a benign mammary tumor, that should be easy to remove. I took her to the vet today, but was referred to another vet that was off today, so tomorrow she'll be going there. Well, technically today since it is after midnight. Both the girls are getting a little tubby. I'm trying to get a hold of some new, better for them, food, but the only pet store that carries that brand around here really sucks at getting orders in. It took them over a month, I think, to figure out that the reason they weren't getting in the food I needed for my guinea pig was because the company no longer sold that size. Pfft, one brief look into the reason it didn't ship should have told them that.

I went to the dentist for my cleaning last week. I have one cavity, joy. The fluoride treatment they gave me has given me a rather painful sore, too. No way am I following their constant advice to use fluoride rinses. I'd rather risk cavities than deal with the reaction.

Spook is still scratching herself up a fair bit. There haven't been any really bad new scratches, but she's keeping the old ones from healing up. I'm thinking about trying some yucca for Earnie's (one of the Cocker Spaniels) arthritis. The joint supplements have helped him a lot, but he still has some troubles when he's been laying down awhile, or jumps onto/off of something. Actual medications would be a last resort, with all the possible side-effects they carry. I'm very slowly working on a web page for the pets.
