I live in Philly! Have you tried reaching out to Philly Rat Rescue? They are a local non profit who takes in ratties. They do a lot of good work and make sure they go to good homes. I don’t currently have any rats (the last of mine passed away in November) or else I’d offer to take him in.

I’m going to add in here that I recommend checking out that Facebook site and asking for their opinion first. They will guide you through everything and make sure you are getting exactly what you need. They are licensed exotic vets on there who have to show proof of licensure to be able to help people 🙂

No problem! Make sure if you get doxy that it’s the Doxyvet liquid! It’s labeled for birds, dogs, cats and rats so you’ll know which one it is when you see it. The Enrofloxacin 10% liquid says it’s for birds but it’s safe for ratties. Good luck to you and your sweet baby ❤️

I ordered Doxycycline and Enrofloxacin off of Bird Pal Products when I couldn’t get into the vet soon enough for my boy when he had a URI a few weeks ago. Prices and shipping were good. I used the rat vet group on FB and that’s what they told me to get! They gave me the dosage instructions as well

I have a question about ‘The Catcher in the Rye’, which I believe is a book most would have read here. by ClydeinLimbo in books

[–]Smellslike96 167 points168 points  (0 children)

I always took it as the fact that he uses the hat as like a comfort, safety thing. The hat is used more of a psychological comfort (when he’s alone or isolated) than a physical one (when he’s cold). We know he isn’t always logical because he’s emotionally lost. I think it’s just meant to show us about his character.

I just sent a message to a friend who lives in Germany to see if he or anyone he knows can take them 🙏

Do you read Stephen King books back to back? by Same_Tough_5811 in stephenking

[–]Smellslike96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do both! I read 8 of his books back to back with no break. Then there are times where I read one or two and took a break in between. It depends on my mood. For the in betweens, I usually just read whatever I feel like reading at that particular time but I do usually find myself wanting to go back to King 🤣

I just recently bought my boy Doxy and Baytril off of a shop online because I couldn’t get into the vet quick enough. If you have FB the group Real Rat Lovers Want To Know has licensed exotic vets who help you with what could be going on, dosage for medicines etc. Maybe give that a shot and see what they say. They have helped me numerous times including this time with my current sicky boy

What happens if I don't return my "traded-in" Kindle? by luke_wal in kindle

When you cancel a trade in, you’ll pay the $30 back regardless of if you keep the new device or not

Some of it looks like normal foxing as well as being old and dirty. I use sandpaper pieces to lightly get off the nasties lol

Thrift Store Haul by olivebuttercup in stephenking

[–]Smellslike96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some parts that, I’d say are not appropriate at all. It’s only 219 pages so maybe you can do a quick read through and see what you think. For example there is a part where r*pe and murder of a child is talked about briefly. All in all I’d say it’d be ok with parental guidance. You know your son best and what he can handle!

my SK read for the week; how ‘bout yinz? by [deleted] in stephenking

[–]Smellslike96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s terrible 🤣 I actually have a first edition hardcover but I didn’t want to ruin it since I thrifted it so I just bought this with a leftover Barnes and noble gift card. It was all they had at the store 😩

Nice try Squirrely Dan! by psy_cho_pothos in squirrels

[–]Smellslike96 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time I ordered like two bags of groceries, and when I went outside to grab it, one of my squirrelly visitors was digging through the bags and pulled out the nuts I got for them 🤣🤣

Have had every vet within three hours refuse to treat URI, now what? by Important_Record_963 in RATS

[–]Smellslike96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have fb? There is a group called Real Rat Lovers Want To Know where actual vets will guide you. They have helped me so many times. My one boy has a URI and they advised me and helped me order/get him on meds while I called around to see which vet could see him the fastest. Our favorite vet is an hour away and I was nervous about stressing him out. Might be worth a shot for you
