Poor Buttercup developed some pretty extensive sores on her little body so today she got to experience a trip to the vet. Only a few veterinarians in Charlotte see "exotic" animals, so we were thankful to find one nearby with quick availability. The trip there was quite scary and she kept knawing at the cage trying to get out . . and when we finally saw the nurse, she chomped on her hand and drew blood. Yikes!! I felt so bad putting her through this, but she needed to be seen. Unfortunately, the vet wasn't really sure what was causing her to have these big sores but seemed to think it was possibly hormone related. He prescribed an antibiotic to see if that would help, but their life span is so short anyway I opted not to do more extensive tests. We are praying this works and helps her heal and feel better.
