He goes in to the vet at 4:45 today. We have had a couple of issues with him, but I think we will be able to work them out. He is EXTREMELY food aggressive. He will even go after the dogs if they are around the food tins. He's being fed in his cage or in the garage until we can convince him he will always have enough food for himself. I found out last night from the neighbors who called us about Rinny, and the mother told me that he never consistently got food and when he did it was stuff left over from them eating...even old apple cores. No wonder the poor guy is food aggressive. Mike gave him a bath and scrubbed the wound on his back and treated it with H2O2 and it's getting better. He is really soft now. He has also been attention starved and gets jealous REALLY easily and will go after whomever is getting attention. That's already getting better though since he's figured out that he really doesn't have to fight for attention...he gets it without having to ask.
He will get a heartworm test today and his 6-way and rabies and probably a worming medicine. We'll get him started on Interceptor in October.
