We have a Bishon X Shih Tzu cross . . . which name I have been known to get mixed up when feeling flustered, and I call him a Shihts'on Bichu. Which of course increases the discomfort! First time I did this was at a parent teacher interview, and I repeated it three times before I finally got it right on the fourth try!! I was red faced, headed for purple, mortified, and she was shocked at my language . . . then quipped that it was undoubtedly an accurate name. ROFL!

Oh DC, I'm dying with laughing....while also of course feeling sympathing and empathy at the embarrassing word muddle!! My worry is all the times I must have done something similar without realising!

I throughly loved reading their stories. It’s made me feel a little less frantic about my own degus fighting. I’ll just keep cracking on as you have. God help me if there are any boys in my mix though (I’d think I’d know by now?!). I’m not sure I could afford yet another massive cage! I’m already having to break into my hidden money stash lol.
I’ve always told my girls to be super careful of the degus tails, and they have been, but I hadn’t considered that it could happen as part of a fight. I’m definitely feeling happy with my decision to keep our goos in my room - I spend a lot of time there because the kids take all the TVs and watch stuff I just can’t tolerate. My bedroom is my lounge lol.
Happy first birthday! Xx

I will find a pic of Leia and SarahB as soon as I can get the pair of them to sit still... (Leia is still a bit skittish after all this time, we're still working on it!) SarahB has gotten a bit older and fatter, therefore slower, so she's slightly easier to catch these days

SarahB has gotten a bit older and fatter, therefore slower, so she's slightly easier to catch these days Sorry I've not been on here for a while everything has been a bit crazy. Over the last week ella has been struggling with her eating. Today we came down to her with a dramatic weight loss weeping eyes and laboured breathing. She is now in the vets care they have said they think its fluid on the lungs and heart disease I'm absolutely devastated dont think she'll last over the weekend if I'm looking at this in a realistic way. I have told the vets that if she does deteriorate any more dont let her suffer. All other degus are doing good and had no problems

Shes in an oxygen tank on antibiotics and pain relief. She's had critical care food. The vet said they will give me daily updates but at the moment she is still too weak to give her an xray or take bloods. The next 48 hours are critical.

It sounds like she is in excellent care! With the care they are giving, may she have the full recovery we hope for.
Sending you love and hugs!
