ok soooo, as some of you already know my little girl quite suddenly developed a tumor, which i discovered when i was feeling her over!
she went to the vet, and we decided to OF COURSE get her the surgery, and the tumor was sent for biopsy. well, the surgery went great! Spicket is recovering VERY well! and wheels every night! but unfortunatly we got the results back and they, well were not good, but not horrible either... the tumor can come back, and if it does it will be faster bigger, and more violent... its been 3-4 weeks since removal, and nothing yet! :) and hopefully nothing EVER, the vet had said that if it was going to come back stronger it would come back in a mounth or so!
any ways, every body keep your fingers crossed for Spicket!
o, and btw my vet said that she is the most co-operative hedgie, and cutest, most loving one she has ever seen!

now all i need to do is pay off the vet bills.. the total for the whole thing was close to $900.00 :eek: now if that is not a testimonial to have a pet emergency fund set aside i dont know what is!
if any one would like to help me and my girly out, i am holding a hedgie bag and blankie set sale over in the classifides section!
thankyou for taking the time to read Spickets story! and have a great hedgie day!
