And chewed through the dishwasher water line...

40cm = 15.7 inch, less the tail.

That damn rat is bigger than Sandy my Rotthuahua. I took Sandy to the
dogtor Tuesday and she had to spend the night in the dogspital. I've got
her on the same schedule as me to take medications and I'm going to have
to bathe her every other day with her prescription shampoo to get her
skin to heal. The poor little critter has been scratching constantly and
it may take a while to get her better. o_O

Boo, our African barkless small game hound (Basenji) can get too
licking, snortin' under his leg. Early days, causing a red rash. The
vet had us use some type of spray to stop that.

He still snorts and licks, but no rash. Damn African dogs are funny.
