I woke up at 9:30am this morning!! ><
So late! But all well
This morning Tiffin decided he didn't want to play outside
which is very odd behaviour for my prince
usually everyday - even in the rain - he goes outside at 7:15am (when dad lets him out)
and hes goes outside to do toilet, he now prefers to wait to do toilet outside
rather than do it in his cage
but he didnt come out at all
so I ate breakfast outside thinking he will come out and see me
but no :/
so in the end I took him inside my room for analysis
I made sure he walked right, he was eating, and able to do toilet
all 3 were fine, so decided prehaps he was just feeling a lil quite today
the wind was strong so maybe he didnt wanna play out in it too
We had quality time together anyway :)
I wanted to start with mia's bunting but I needed to pop to go and get
some ribbon and lace, me and mum went to the shop and i just picked up
lace, 5 ribbons and 4m of bias~
Got back and started pinning and making bows for the bunting
Over the day I got them all stitched up
they need to be:
ironed
trimmed
stitched to the bias
the done~
but thats for another day maybe tuesday
Frank came today at 2pm
i stroked him inside his carrying case when he arrived
he felt old, you know that feel off an old animal like a cat
he is getting on i guess
so I put him in cage to let him settle
tiffin was outside at this point, he sniffed franks cage and walked off
not bothered, whereas kip wouldnt leave frank alone!
30mins later I switched bunnies over
so tiffin home and frank outside
i stayed with frank to make sure he was alright but hes as chilled as anything he is
but i watched him and im not sure he walks right like his back end isnt strong
and when i went to stroke his back end he flinched
as i was so close to him i noticed he has a load of white flakes behind his ears on his back
on closer inspection his skin and fur was FULL of these white flakes which look like dandruff
I have never seen this before, but from the looks of things this problem hasnt been here a few days its been here a few months, its really built up and thick. He has hair loss too i noticed
so I googled it
he basically has a bad case of mites
it is curable but takes a few weeks
medicated bathes and sprays can get rid of it and even injections from the vets
when i read further down
"humans can't get it but can feel itchy when in contact with the mites, it can pass to other pets, they live in the environment, bedding"
I felt sick, tiffin had sniffed the outside of franks hutch
and at that moment i could feel a panic attack coming on, stupid really
he only sniffed the outside of a cage he is probably fine
but the thought of tiffin catching mites and being in that state made me panic and feel sick
my parents came and i told them as soon as they came in
and got my parents to see for themselves
at that point we left for the pet shop
they didnt have a lot of choice but we brought a soothing bath wash
and an anti-bacterial/anti-insect-thing spray
none them are the 'cure for mites' but its better than nothing
so we got home, i filled a big plastic box with warm water and bath wash
dunked frank in, he was not impressed and tried to escape several times
good job we were outside anyway! water went everywhere!
When he dried off I brushed him and my god i got loads of flakes from him
some with blood spots on.....and then i sprayed him with stuff
i will brush him again tomorrow and spray more stuff
the whole time i did them frank stayed still, almost like he knew i was trying to help him
im hoping he feels a lil better already, cant be any worse anyway
anyway my shelves!! they are here!!
What do you think?
The French wine crates are housing my manga, a few anime DVDs
some plushies and anime figures too
its perfect and i love it, well worth the wait!
Things will probably get changed around over time but for now im content~
Tomorrow I am going school to work with the youngest class!
