Zombie And Other News
I'm going to have a story in Zombie World News :-) Quite pleased about that. I suddenly thought zombies and the Queensland floods made a quite convincing combination :-) You can't see them coming when there's a couple of metres of brown swirling water covering the streets of your town.
Bloody hot today again. Since I expect that to be the norm for a couple of months, I'll probably stop saying that but it can be assumed.
I spent today at home doing a cleanup after visiting creatures were collected. House is now clean. I even ironed and moved washing machine and fridge to clean beneath, which is a fit that strikes only occasionally and usually in hot conditions. Tonight I'll tackle the Ferret Kingdoms. There was gaming happening but I decided to wimp out, take care of the above tasks and keep an eye on Wilfred, my third rat to take sick in a matter of weeks. Sigh. He was up and about the cage today, so I am very much hoping that the mass recently found by the vet in his abdomen is an abscess, which will respond to cortico steroids, rather than a tumour, which won't. Wilfred isn't eating much but at least there's some hope at the moment.
There's a genetic component which we, the folks involved with Perth Rat Rescue rats, are only now figuring out, having experienced five cases from a population of rats rescued from a hoarder. These rats all had masses in the abdomen, of which three were tumours and two abscesses, if I have it correct. So Wilfred has possible family members with the condition, including my own Cecil. Please be lucky, Wilf.
Anyway, though it's still 36^C outside, things need watering!

The heading is:
Journal of Amy Wells: Investigator in the Gamers Guild campaign.
There's a bit at the start telling people they should read your blog because Amy may not have got everything completely correct. :-) She also may choose not to write down certain things.
That was

All tentacles crossed for Wilfred!!!

Wilfred isn't eating much, mostly soy formula mixed with water, yoghurt and a bit of baby food custard. That's the problem with rats, they're sick, they don't want to eat and if you force them, which I tried to do last night, they become distressed.
I'm doing the best I can (sigh), offering him the soft foods frequently and keeping him in a quiet environment, sort of. He's got Cedric for company and Cedric is not a bully. He does get the neighbours running over the roof and screeching, but that's not too bad.
I really didn't need this again so soon though. I have three more rats from that place so now I have to be concerned about them. So far, Cedric, Vernon and Elliott appear to be bulletproof, which is hopeful.
