Hi Everybody
I have a male black and rust coloured abby, with some health problems that appear similar to the problems with the lethal cavys. But his colouring is very different from the lethals I've read about. He has black eyes and no white hairs.
His health problems include poor eyesight, with cateracts and one eye is unusually small (no changes since we got him from the pet shop at 8 weeks). His body size is very small (in length). He is thin, 750 grams - he has regular checkups at the vet, and has put on over 100 grams over the past 6 months. Blood tests have shown that his pancreas and liver are not working as well as they should. The vet believes this is an ongoing problem - a deformity rather then something that we can fix. he has had a few doses of anti-biotics, and i still give him regular doses of probiotic. He is two years old.
He is also easily agitated, and stressed by any changes to the run, largely I think due to his poor eyesight. However, he is doing very well at the minute.
Question is - Is my Punky a lethal?
