Poor Griffin...

[Allee]

Wonderful news, Julie! I'm glad Griffin's A-vet rescued him from the lampshade torture device, now that it's served it's purpose, and I'm happy to hear the toe is already starting the healing process.

Poor Raven, I bet he's happy to have his friend back.

Yay! I bet he's one happy camper now!

Good for Griffin! I'm glad he's free. I can't blame him for hating it no matter how necessary it was.

Thanks . Actually since he hadn't slept a wink the entire night (I know, because when I'd wake up during the night I heard him biting the collar), he's exhausted and already in bed. In fact, he had been "in bed" most of the day after coming back from the vet. All the drama plus no sleep and very little food, I guess that's why the feisty little guy just isn't himself yet.

He lost some weight too from not eating for a day. From 110 to 103... He was extra small to begin with! Ruppell's are usually about the size of a Senegal, about 20-30 grams or so larger than Griffin. He's my tiny little fuzzy man with the big attitude lol .

He should be well rested and ready for a big breakfast in the morning! Get all his favorites ready!

Glad to hear he's healing without the torture device!! I'm sure he'll be back to his ideal weight very soon!!

Poor Griffin! Glad he didn't end up having to keep the collar on. Sounds like it was driving him crazy.

But I'm sure he's on his way now to a speedy recovery. Please give him extra scritches for me!

Oh my, poor boy! I'm glad he was able to have the a-okay to have it off and that without it he'll hopefully be able to sleep more too. He's such a spunky fellow, it's almost odd to think of him as subdued. I hope he's back to his silly self soon! And same goes to you Julie - I hope you are improving too.

Maybe the both of you should just lay in bed and make grumpy old man Robin cater to your needs! Though I could imagine him feigning ill with his cough and demand to be catered for as well...

 

[RavensGryf]

Thanks Chantal . I really didn't think it was that serious, but now I'm not sure if a nail will regrow from that toe. We'll have to see. There is nothing there now.

I'm so glad Griffin is doing better! He'll gain his weight! Parry lost over 20 grams during his ordeal, and I was in panic, but my vet told me not to worry about that and she was right. He got it back in less that a month.
Just keep and eye on him making sure he wouldn't chew on his toe. I know I'm paranoid about that, but when it heals and the new nails begins to grow it can be very itchy.
