July Update

Things have been doing better yet this month. We have a few more litters ready that are raised soy free. We have had very little use for antibiotics this month at all. Dobi got a bad scratch, got a bit infected, but cleared on it's own without the use of antibiotics. Our little Stumpy was on a round of antibiotics for a missing ankle, but cleared up well without getting worse. Have had 2 URIs both cleared without meds. Slight congestion, bit of porphorin when sneezing, cleared within 48 hours of being noticed.

1 abscess found, cleaned it out, used some neosporin plus on it, cleared up without incidence.

Did have to put some rats down for aggression, but that was hormonal, meaning genetic, not diet.

No incidences of cancer found. Currently there are still more than 100 rats here, plenty of babies available. Do still have some older rescues here as well. All available males have been paired up with younger cagemates.

That is about it for the July update. WIll be posting some more research later today
