Well, we got over the snake bite and Barney was just finishing up his drugs when he got in a fight and was severely bitten about the tail, right at the base. I didn't know that anything had happened until he went off his food. This guy has 4 meals a day so when he doesn't eat anything, we have a problem! Down to the vet, once again, more drugs and anti-inflamatories (sp?) Problem was it had happened at least one and maybe two days before I realized anything was wrong so an abscess could have started. In that case, he may have lost his tail and in the worst case, could have had other problems.
However, after seven days, Barnes seems to be fighting fit, no abscesses, back to four meals a day and generally life goes on! Vet nurse said he was an ideal candidate for pet insurance but I personally think there isn't an insurance company in the land who would touch me (or Barnes!)
