Went to the vets on Friday for Woody, who hasn't been himself for a week or so. He has a lump in his abdomen and has been losing weight, although he's still eating like a champion and also harassing me for anything he thinks he ought to be getting. At other times, however, he can get quite lethargic and he's turned into a lapweasel - as I type this, he's currently asleep on my lap, as has been the case for the past couple of days if I pick him up and cuddle him for more than a few minutes.

So we've had the expensive blood tests done but I don't think it's anything other than a delaying tactic - results won't be back for a few days, since some of the tests can't be done inhouse. Unfortunately, I went through this with Obi, although he didn't have the weightloss, so I don't hold out much hope for alternative explanations other than that it's a tumour. At least Woody doesn't seem to be in any pain, so that's something. The main problem is trying to stop Buzz jumping on him, demanding to play, if they're out of the hutch and Woody has decided he'd rather sleep.

I am sorry to hear about Woody, the poor thing. I know how hard this kind of thing is. I'm glad though he seems to be pain-free, that is indeed something.

*Hugs*

Hugs. I know how you feel... which reminds me... must go give Spirit his *4* meds. My ferret is on twice as many meds as I am. Go figure.

Hope Woody perks up and glad he's not seeming to be in pain.
