Default Pellets

Horace this morning eat his pellets, first time for months, so maybe the injections are working.
Yesterday I injected Horace in his leg and there was blood, but Horace did not hiss or move. I hate injections. The vet last week did the same.
I put Horace in a warm bath for 20 mins.
Horace was out for a few hours today from 12.30p until 3pm when the sun went in. I brought him in and he has been eating but now is sleeping.
So good old Horace

Yes Great News. I was so I always used to feed the pellets, tuesday, thursday and saturday on a plate and Horace knows they are there (very hard to explain) today Monday I thought what the hell, just try and Horace eat the lot I was looking, Horace new I was, he stopped eating so I went out of the room. I went back in and Horace had no more pellets left
Tomorrow another Injection day

Thank you all, it does mean a lot to me. I injected Horace this morning, I hate doing this, I think the needle delivered the stuff. I had to get 5 new needles this morning cost me £1.45 from the vet.
Horace has not eat much today, not doing nothing really, just basking. I did give him a bath with a pinch of Arkvits. Yesterday no need to put that in his bath because he eat his pellets.
Again thank You
