ReepiSheep is a pearl rex buck. He was bred by Katie Ford at Benden Rats, and is the brother of Aslan.
He has been at several shows, but show preparation makes him anxious, although he is normally a lovely, squishy buck.
When I returned from four days away at the beginning or August, his left eye had been badly scratched by his brother, and this was removed on 11th August, as it was not responding to drops. All went well, and he passed his checkup on the 18th, apart from a Baytril burn, treated with Metacam and Dermagel
At 10 days post-operatively, the Baytril burn extended round the back of his neck, but he refused medication and cleaning.
4th September - slight wound infection - seen by Bradley. To be bathed with Hibiscrub twice daily. I'm also applying antibacterial powder. He seems more active.
16th October - His Baytril burn is now only about the size of an old ½p piece and isn't bothering him. He's back to being a lovely, squishy rat! I hope to try intros again as soon as his neck is fully healed, but he can be quite rat-aggressive. His cage is immediately adjacent to the other bucks.
