Well I just got back from the vets~ Without Rocko~ He is still there and will remain there until i get back from London~ It was really hard to leave him~:(~ But after talking to this vet for an hour i have confidence in him and he will be doing xrays today and calling me with the results~ than he said we would go from there~ After discussing his diet and habitat he started asking me if there was anything in his cage that he might have ingested~I told him there was a plastic plant in there~ and he thought that might just be it~? But also told me he see's alot of problems with parasites and they can bind him up too~ Also he noted that Rocko seemed gasey~ So he gave me an estimate of everything he may have to do~ which was the xray,fliuds,possible medications,hospital stay(extended as i will be out of country for 7 days)enema,blood work,fecal exam. So he seems like he knows what he is doing~ The estimate cost is 350 bucks~ which is probably a little low~(isn't it always?)~ Plus the hospital stay for a week was 120 bucks on its own~ He had a great setup for Rocko and brought me in and showed me were rocko would stay~ I hope i can relax and have a nice vacation now~ At least i know rocko is getting the care he needs right now~ I will let everyone know what the results for the xrays are~ He will be calling me in a few hours~ Thanks for listening~ I can't wait to have Rocko home again~ Its very hard to concentrate on work ~ Surprising how attached we get to these guys~ They are really a part of the family~
