Thank you so much everyone for your help; I was able to get him seen and I got his meds!
Now comes the tough part: Oddy's got Cryptorchidism and it seems it's starting to form a tumor. Luckily it can't spread and with a simple procedure he'll be fine.

Commissions are open:

A quote from a veterinary office for a procedure to remove a tumor as a result of Cryptorchidism. The bill is estimated at $435-$527 USD.

HAPPY WORLD CEPHALOPOD DAY! 🐙
I love love love cephalopods, especially octopuses, and they're some of my favorite animals to draw!

Email me to commission your own octopus art, or check out the octopus prints I have up on sale here: www.inprnt.com/gallery/pepp...

#art #octopus

A traditional mixed media illustration of two cute happy yellow flapjack octopuses with a stack of flapjacks (or pancakes) on a plate floating between them. Pink syrup is being poured on the flapjacks from a floating small saucer, and there's strawberries and bilberries floating around, as well as a starfish and a seashell as decoration.

A digitally colored ink and marker illustration of a happy gardener octopus, drawn in dark blue and yellow on aqua blue. He's wearing a straw hat, smiling with his eyes, and holds a pot with a yellow flower in it, as well as a watering can and spade in some of his tentacles. There's some kelp, yellow flowers and tiny yellow fish as decoration.

A traditional mixed media illustration of a happy small grey East Asian common octopus, holding a grey ceramic traditional matcha tea cup in its tentacles while using a bamboo whisk to whisk green matcha tea with two of its tentacles. There's some green tea leaves and a bit of matcha powder as decoration, and there's a light pink watercolor pattern for the background.

A collection of 15 small circular colored pencil illustrations, each of a different animal in a different color. From left to right, top to bottom: a red macaw, an orange fox, a yellow tang, a green frog, a blue whale, an indigo snake, a violet octopus, a magenta katydid, a pink pig, a teal peacock, a brown buck deer, a black panther, a grey elephant, a white polar bear, a rainbow chameleon.

Mermaid and fairy from 2022 and 2023... I was supposed to draw a third one based on an unicorn to complete the set, but sadly I was never able to make a sketch I liked.

I actually have a Youtube video available of the fairy drawing art process: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MKR...

So two surprises in one day, I'm having to return a package, and possibly reimburse the person I bought it from due to the terrible system eBay has in place, and second I may need a new kitchen sink faucet like SOON and take it from a plumber, the cheap ones are still expensive.... Any bit counts
