Yesterday, poor old Flea and Sonko (Common Marmosets) went off to the vet with a rather embarrassing problem. They both had swollen testicles. Flea and Sonko both had vasectomies 3 weeks ago and suddenly there testicles have swollen up again. The vet is not sure why this has happened, but they are both being treated with antibiotics and, of course, pain killers for a week. Hopefully this will bring their condition under control, but it will be reviewed again in a week.
In the meantime, Flea and Sonko are acting normally and eating well (could be that they don’t want anyone to know about this embarrassing problem)
Flea arrived at the sanctuary in 2003 after a concerned member of public saw him being sold at a market place. Sonko is his foster son. They both currently live with Abbette, who arrived at the sanctuary last month.
