Buddy & Lollipop

Lollipop

Buddy

July 2000

These two adorable babies are Buddy and Lollipop. They came in together from a household that had three but started selling them off. They had already sold the sister when Cathy heard about them and she wanted to get them out of there together. They were being fed potato chips! They smelled like cigarette smoke and were really sluggish for about a week. They were also fat because they hadn't been out of their cage. Fortunately, they were relatively young and have recovered well.

Buddy has been struggling off and on with IBD for several months now. It was bad on Sunday when our guests were here. He had lost so much weight. He was getting special feedings (and he`s the one I demonstrated sub Q fluids on for those who wanted to learn.)

When I did 3 a.m. feedings, he was hurting. I put him on pain meds. This afternoon he left us some time between 1:30 and 3:00.

Buddy and Lollipop have been in our room for years. Funlovers has never lost a member before. We will miss our Buddy.

Love, Zoo

Old, deaf Lollipop has been adrenal for about a year now. He just had his third 6 month lupron depot. (It is really a 4 month but lasts much longer on most of them!)

Lollipop is a peacemaker--a good old boy. Here`s a more recent picture of him.
