So I'm back from the vets.
The vet was very nice and cheddar, to my surprise, didn't bite him once.
The vet said that it could be
Cancer
An abscess
Or a cyst
He said that he doesn't think it's cancer as it's small and hard.

He gave cheddar an antibiotic jab for the open wound where he's been chewing at it.
Then he gave him a pain relief as he was in pain when it was being touched.
It was extremely hard to get him to stay still...
Chocolate drops helped a lot.

We have antibiotics to be fed by syringe.

Cheddar is a bit stressed out and very itchy from the injection so I've left him alone in the dark room.

The vet says he was the most tame and friendly gerbil he'd ever met :)

Got to go to the big hospital next week for a checkup so if it needs removing then they will have all the equipment

That sounds very good :)
I'm very happy for you and Cheddar:)
It sounds like he is going to be ok!

Well despite being told Tidgy's photo had been received, and not being informed, as others were, that there was a problem with it, my entry is not in The Calendar Competition.
To say i am furious and devastated would be an understatement.
Even if the picture is instated now, voting has already begun and Tidgy would have missed many early voting opportunities.
I really don't know what to do or how to react.
I have PMed Yvonne and Josh, politely asking for an explanation, but i'm not sure, at this stage, any resolution would be satisfactory.
I am now going outside to batter a local child.
That's rotten :( I'm sorry Adam!
