Being a rat owner is kind of hard! your always looking for signs of them being sick, taking them to a vet, not taking them to a vet,and wondering Am I overreacting or not reacting fast enough? I guess we can only do the best we can.I'm glad to hear Rose is still eating. they say ,when they have that respotory thing (severly), they can't eat because they can't get a breath when they chew. So you have to give them real tiny pieces of things. I know, Casper runs to hide the goodie in his home and runs out for more. thats o.k. My first rat died of that stupid disease, so i learned alot from that. Especially not to let the cage go. Clean once a week.
Maddie, did you take your first rat to the vet? or did you just know it was cancer?
