Post by: Hoppinchins on September 17, 2010, 02:23:13 PM: sorry, my computer did something weird. It heeled and i'm soo happy. The vet said that he needs to stay in the other cage for another week or two because his leg is weak since it hasn't been used much so he'd not allowed to jump around yet. So he's not going to be happy staying in the small cairrer cage for another 2 weeks. but it will be worth it. I'v been giving him healthy treats and a oxbow vitamin c supplement.

Cheech was on pain killers for about 6 weeks. She's come off them now but still holds her arm up a little at times. But When bonding Cheech bit Chong's toe on his front foot and it bled a little and he held it up for ages. Long after it had healed. I think they are very protective over injured limbs.

Post by: Hoppinchins on September 20, 2010, 10:11:41 AM: hmm, that could be. Mine little pogo was only on pain meds for a week. the said he woudn't need them after that. I'm afried that he isn't using it bc he is in pain, and i can't tell. but I think he's still eating pretty good for everything he's been through any everything.

Post by: Hoppinchins on September 20, 2010, 11:06:06 AM: I called the vet and they said its normal. He won't use it for another week bc his leg is still stiff from being wrapped up.

Post by: Hoppinchins on October 10, 2010, 07:59:44 AM: I was wondering when I should let them use the saucer again since of pogo's leg. I'm thinking that if i wait a month that that should be fine.
