shamanicshayminRyu had quite a day today! One of his eyes was scratched and leaking a little, so Dad and I took him to the vet to see what was the matter. He was innocently romping in the small room where we were waiting in, but by the time the vet arrived, his cheek was soaked and his eye blood-red. It was awful. D: There's definitely an infection, and the vet is hoping to save his eye. Right now, his eye is stitched except for a small corner where Dad and I can give him antibiotic drops. He's been calm throughout the whole thing and never tried to escape. He's such a good boy. ;; The vet said she was also impressed how old he is, since the oldest chinchilla she had evermcared for was around eight years old (Ryu is 10-11).
Ryu's like the Snow White of the pet world; everybody who meets him loves him. ♥ The people outside in the waiting room were curious about my chinchilla, and a lady asked me if she could pet him. She's so enchanted and amazed how soft he is! Then she asked if she could take a picture of him with her cell phone, which I said of course, haha. I talked to the other patients and visited their pets while waiting on Dad and Ryu, hehe. A lady had two rescue doggies, both mixed, and one of them is likely to have Chinese Crested in her. :o The poor things were so nervous. I saw a couple with a Siberian husky mix, and I talked to them about Ryu, but I couldn't let them pet him because I didn't want their dog to jump all over me and him. :o
Ryu's currently relaxing in his little house right now, occasionally running on his UFO wheel. I'm so glad he's doing okay. ;;
