Fun fact Friday brought to you by Gotti the rat!

Rats make great pets! Despite their reputation rats are maticulas at keeping themselves clean and are often cleaner than cats. Their incisor teeth grow continuously, requiring them to chew on objects to wear them down and prevent overgrowth. A rat’s tail has two functions; balance and body temperature regulation. Rats have sent glands on their feet. They use the scent to mark their territory and retrace their steps. A rat’s sensitive whiskers are crucial for navigation as their vision is quite poor.

It's Fun Fact Friday!
Did you know opossums and possums are actually different animals? Both are marsupials but belong to different orders and families. Opossums, native to Northern and Central America, have hairless tails, while possums, native to Australia and New Guinea, have furry tails and are smaller in stature. And yes, opossums play dead to deter predators, but possums, they become vocal and are ready to fight off a predator.
Opossums are opportunistic omnivores and include rattlesnakes as part of their diet. Due to a unique protein in their blood that neutralizes the toxins, opossums are highly immune to rattlesnake venom. They also love to snack on ticks! Next time you see an opossum, give it a little nod of gratitude for helping to keep the rattlesnake and tick population in check!

When Mustard’s person noticed blood in his urine she took action and brought him in for an exam and diagnostic testing right away. An ultrasound revealed a probable calcium oxalate urolith which is a solidified stone that forms in the urinary tract. The formation of such stones occurs due to infection, genetics, and or diet. Mustard’s stone, in photos 2 and 3, needed to be surgically removed from his bladder. Dr.Foster performed a cystotomy surgery this week and we are happy to report Mustard is healing nicely. Once the urolith is analyzed by the pathologist, Mustard’s diet will be changed to help avoid any further stone development. These photos with Mustard and his person were taken after his surgical discharge. He was still a little loopy and really appreciated being held like a baby!
