Double Whammy

Haiz!

It is confirmed that Snowie has lost the use of her hind legs. BOTH of her hind legs. Last night, I noticed that her rear end was being dragged when she moved.

With this, I had moved her from the OVO (w/lots of tubes & all) to the iMac Fantasy Cage. It's a good thing that I am unable to sell it off.

Initially, I wanted to change to a smaller wheel for her (lighter to run w/just her forelegs). But the moment she saw the 21cm wheel, she rushed to it and were on it for a while. With that, then I realized that she really loves running on the wheel. And I suspect that the OVO Trainer doesn't allow her to run. So the 21cm wheel remains.

Haiz!

My poor poor Snowie.

But on the other hand, she is in good health. No other obvious health issues. *keeping fingers crossed.

A Grave Discovery

A week ago, I noticed something weird about Snowie's right hind leg. It appeared to be dragging behind her. I did a few tests then but it appeared normal.

Then for the past few days, I noticed that she has difficulty climbing up the tubes. That made me all the suspicious of that hind leg's condition.

And this morning, after several more tests, and taking a closer observation while she moves, it is confirmed that she has lost the use of the hind leg.

Haiz! My poor Snowie.

With this, I've removed the long tube and moved the OVO Den up with the elbow.

Now I Remember

Once I remembered the reason why I decided to house the two big gers in the OVO series, I went ahead and bought more extensions.

Juno's setup is the OVO Studio.

While Snowie's setup is the OVO Suite.

And below is how both setups looks like.
