Well you may or may not have seen my tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny little boy that I couldn't leave in a local shop, here's the link in case you want to go awww :smitten:

I had him in this morning for his follow up exam with my local vet, this time seeing their small animal specialist. He had a look and asked me again what age Spike was meant to be when I got him, how long I've had him and what his coat looked like at the first exam.
He then drops the bombshell that he reckoned that it had been Mange, and that Spike could only have been 2-3 weeks old when I got him........I was gutted, however, he checked him over and gave me great news, Spike now appears to have recovered completely since we caught it in time and we'd probably saved his life....
He must have been listening as he went straight home and actually started eating from our hands, followed by peeing on my fiancee much to her amusement.... 98)
So onward and upward, although he advised not to get him neutered based upon his age, but only consider it when he was a decent size...... O0
More pics will follow in the Pics section ;D
