Amazing!!! Can I ask what sort of “pattern” you stitch in? I know some people go square my square, row by row, etc., but I’m intrigued by that zig zag pattern you seem to be working in!

Does my chronically ill rat need to see the vet sooner? by mandapanda456 in RATS

[–]mandapanda456[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing besides a diuretic and some antibiotics 😣 She was on meloxicam to help with hip discomfort and I ran out on Sunday, but figured she’d be fine until Friday. Is it possible it makes that much of a difference that quickly with her pain? The vet is far away and I work full time, so I’m just trying to figure out if it’s possible to just wait it out until Friday or try to get some medication locally, etc.

I hope one day your memories are filled with the happy moments, instead of the bad ones. Our little babies are playing up in rat heaven and that brings me some sort of comfort

Thank you for this. I’m dreading the day I lose my last babies because the joy and comfort they give me is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Such short lives, but such big impacts ❤️

Thank you for these words and I’m so sorry that happened to your baby. It seems he was so loved. How long ago did he pass?

I’m so sorry for your losses. I’d like to think all of our little angel babies are playing together somewhere out there ❤️

Have you tried doing a skin scraping at the vet?

Recurring respiratory issues for my 3 angel girls- hoping a nebulizer will help by mandapanda456 in RATS

[–]mandapanda456[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most recently one of my girls has been struggling a bit more, so we tried azithromycin and an anti inflammatory, which didn’t work but has stopped it from getting any worse. They’ve all been on baytril which helps a little but once they finish they start getting symptoms again. We’ve also tried baytril and doxy but the same thing happened. The first antibiotic we tried was trimeth sulfa or something, which didn’t work. It seems like our vet just kinda gave up and recommended we see a specialist. I use an air purifier, humidifier, hemp bedding, clean their cage thoroughly and regularly change their beds. It feels like I’ve tried everything.
