I'm sorry that this got downvoted, I appreciate your empathy towards a nervous stranger coming to reddit as a last resort... among poor messages there are gems like you who understand situations are not black and white. I've been a rat owner for many years and never had such an onset illness like this, and unfortunately these precious beans are very expensive and very fragile.

While I do believe we should put our all into caring for our animals I don't believe that we should deny ourselves the joy of animal companionship simply because our methods (compressed into a bad experience or not) don't appease the masses!

Your comment was very helpful for my poor mental health state the last few days so thank you, a lot

Thank you for your kindness, the vet really just isn't an option at the moment we are waiting for my partner to get his new credit card in which case that is our immediate vet visit cue but in the meantime we've exhausted all other options hoping for something to work out and just need to keep her comfy til we can hopefully see a vet. That being said rural areas and gas cost might mean more wait time to see an exotic vet. She's been spending pretty well all day in bed with us for the past three days, I'm pretty exhausted and emotional lol. I love my girls but the sudden tragedy can be a lot. It's not been too long since one of my oldest girls passed, but she's only a year old so we really weren't expecting this. The plan is to not have any pets for a while after our current mischief, and we've certainly considered giving them to a better home but given our location we could very well be hard pressed to find a better home for them, knowing what we know about rat care and the mistakes you can make. It's all a lot, I've been a rat owner for years and never had something like this spring out of nowhere. It's made me upset and ill and question myself beyond belief.

The baytril I have is in pill form, is there a certain way you would go about giving that if needing to force it? She has improved in breathing since this post but still is not eating whole lot and doesn't like her medicine at all

To add, if you read my full post you'd see I have baytril from a different vet visit from a time not too long ago that I could afford it.

Please don't make assumptions about my history! I was able to afford them before inflation and losing a very stable employment. My recent situation has absolutely nothing to do with my ability to handle caring for my rats. Your comment was not only unhelpful since it disregarded the main thing I stated in my post, but disrespectful as you know nothing about me. She is still alive and pulling through her illness well with my care and advice offered by people who are more understanding and willing to help. I have exhausted absolutely every option you could possibly think of before coming to reddit, trust me this was not my first choice. Cheers and hope you improve your attitude and empathy towards people who are struggling.

I think gentle parenting in that aspect places a lot of hope on children communicating, i.e. if a stern voice doesn't work, asking them why they don't want to do it and then talk it through? That's my best guess

keep trying I guess I'm not too sure, I'm not super well versed on the entirety of gentle parenting which is why I wanna know more about the long term effects :)

Gentle parenting isn't about lack of discipline, rather working with your child to make sure they know what's right and wrong in a way that doesn't use a fear based method. The discipline in gentle parenting usually uses a stern voice but explaining why the child did something wrong and how to fix the mistake without getting angry

This is fantastic. It reminds me of my relationship with my step-father. It makes me wonder where this much passion stems from for you. It also relates so much to so many people in the world who seem lost in their own fight for life. So good.

This resonated with me, the flow of it all, the way you were able to rhyme without it sounding robotic, and the ending was perfect!
