I think green is bad or at least to be conserned about (infection).

No it was not puss, nor urine or urine colored, nor was it a scab. It was exactly what I said,
a white clearish waxy substance. Either it was dried semen, or it is clear mucous from the wound. Rats rarely
get infections from bites as long as they are kept clean, however hairless rats are very prone to abscesses and cysts after
scratches or bites. Rats are very clean and do a good job of keeping their wounds clean. There really is not risk of
infection to the wound since he is on antibiotic ointment and Clavamox. The only concern would be infection in his urethra, which
of course is his pee tube. But even that is a long shot. Our main concern is to get him to urinate often, and the two holes aligned again.


But again, the thing I pulled out of his penis was exactly like I said, hard waxy substance, in no way resembling puss. If there was infection
you would be able to smell it. It was most likely dried semen or mucous, most like mucous because it looks very much like a mucous plug that doe's
get after they mate, which is visible the night after conception in female rats.

As of now, he looks more aligned already, and is eating/drinking and has a ton of energy. He is laying on my lap right now suggled in the
pocket of my sweatshirt, releshing all the love and attention he is recieving.


Here lets see if he wants to say something.....

ytttttttttttttttttttttttttttt


Ok, lol he left a lot of space up there but I think in ratty language it spells, I LOVE YOU! Of course he's
saying that to his mommy.

Anyways, he seems like he's doing fine and as long as he keeps urinating he should be ok. I'm very optimistic.
Next week he won't like me as much though, since I'm taking his manhood away. Then I think I will introduce him
in with Bandit, who will also be neutered on the same day. Two neutered males should be fine. As soon as he is better he will go in
with the smaller boys. He has always been with other rats, but for some reason he was always trying to dominate Icey, he has never
done anything like that to another boy, so hopefully by being in wth smaller boys he will be dominant, until he turns more girly,
and then him and Bandit will live together in their own cage. After all, Bandit and Sterling have been together their
whole life. So I think they will be fine with eachother.

But um yay, he just peed all over my back so I think it's time to put him back!!!
