&lt;p&gt;Thanks for all your thoughts, going to get them neutered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Righting fats.</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/201005?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Aug 2018 23:31:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e2726069-aebc-4e49-a1d4-eec973aae148</guid><dc:creator>Virginia Campbell</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Disappointed as I have a hypertriglyceridemic diabetic hypothyroid mini Schnauzer on the go and fancy talking about gemfibrozil (it&amp;#39;s already on w/d).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But yes would neuter both, add space plus environmental enrichment if possible (which I think you have to change about a bit).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Righting fats.</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/200926?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2018 14:03:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:5b2bd89d-d522-428f-960e-e4856b7c5d2d</guid><dc:creator>Gillian Mostyn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;And make sure their enclosure is big enough and has multiple feeding bowls/hides etc so they aren&amp;#39;t fighting over stuff. Our (castrated male) rats fought less when I added another couple of hides (cardboard boxes).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Righting fats.</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/200924?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2018 12:46:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e6f15fa7-bdda-4014-b40f-cb5049fa4b7b</guid><dc:creator>Marie Kubiak</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Much like other species, castrate both and that will very likely help but do warn them there is still a chance it may not solve the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
