Vet Bills and Poor Prognosises

Haven't been in the forest much at all the last week or so after I found a big hard lump on my rat's neck. I managed to get a hasty vet appointment, but the long and the short of it is the vet doesn't know WHAT it is or how its going to affect him. She sampled some of the interior tissue, and the first time she analyzed it, it came back as crystals.
Which is bizarre, because the only place you generally see crystals, as she explained to me was in urinary tracts and joints affected by gout.
So she did a SECOND sample, and this time got lymph cells, as well as white blood cells... which only really means that his immune system is attempt to fight off whatever this is, and that its affecting that particularly lymph node.

But he's still eating like a little porker, running around and behaving normally, and shows no pain response to having the lump touched, poked, prodded, squeezed and whathaveyou.

The vet put him on baytril as a sort of catch-all, in the hopes that its actually a deep-tissue abscess that will respond to the antibiotics. Surgery at this point would run about four hundred bucks, although apparently she's had some good results treating rats with tumours (cancerous) with prednisone, so we may try that.

Essentially, I'm one big ball of nerves right now; I just hope it IS an abscess, and that the antibiotics will kill the infection. *sigh* And if the gods of employment and bank balances are listening, I could really use some extra hours at work now.
Guh.

Hanging Flowers - Chapter 6

A few more months passed. Skokey was slowly entering into his adolescence. His antlers were just starting to bud, and his spots were disappearing. But his spots were not only disappearing, new markings were starting to show up. His pelt was getting darker, and some reddish and orange markings were just starting to sliver in certain areas.

Skokey wasn't quite sure what was going on, but before he remembered what was happening, Fenqua came up to him. Even in early adolescence, they were still very playful. Who said you couldn't be playful when you grew up? Though Fenqua was a little older than Skokey, her antlers were smaller.

One day, Skokey and Fenqua were at the playground. Everyone else was gone, possibly under the Old Oak, because of the heavy rain. Very large drops were pounding against the leaves and ground, making everything both crisp and mushy at the same time. The two fawns didn't care, this was still new to them, they wanted to have fun with it.

After a while, they both stopped playing around and went under the slab to dry off a little. They were both sopping wet, their chins and ears dripping with excess water. Fenqua gave a little shake, spraying water all over Skokey. He laid his head down, slightly tired from all the running and jumping. For several minutes they just sat there, listening to the rain beat down as it became thicker. The towering birch trees shook in the onslaught of water, the grass wavered and bent. The ground was becoming a little flooded, the plants couldn't take in any more water.

Fenqua turned to look at Skokey, his soaked pelt shining in the dull light. It had just now occured to her that something was odd about it. "Hey, Skokey, what's with your pelt? It doesn't look right."

+Fav coat+

Name: Blackhoof
Sex: Male
Mate: None

Profile: Blackhoof is a weird deer. But he is also a kind, vivacious,
and ....what word to use.... well he lives on his own. As a fawn he was use
to this type of living. He never really cared, about going to the pond, or anything.
He would spend his time laying in the Birch Forest. Now he still lives alone. However,
he dous have freinds in many places. Even though his old freinds have departed, he
is good at making freinds. And he is very loyal. He will try not to ever abandon a
deer he had just met. But sometimes it hard to do that.

Although he has no mate, he is very curious in does? He really can't understand
them. Maybe that's why he has no mate? He has more stag freinds then doe freinds.
He is rarely afraid, and he normaly likes to joke around and act afraid. He is never afraid to
fight, although he disagrees with them.
