Algernon- rest well Aligator.

[hopefloats]

Algernon is the sole survivor of Templeton, Loki, Ludo and Mallymkun. Sadly 3 of the 4 I was able to give a peaceful passing too Since we lost templeton on the way to the vet I decided I will be more proactive on walking them across the bridge. Today Is the day for my Algernon.

I have been seeing the same symptoms from Algernon that i seen with my other boys. They look like hed but it seems to be more like an attack on their nerves. I left him out of intros and I am glad now.

It is hard to let him go, the era of my first boys is coming to an end. Even though it was an amazing journey it is a very difficult one for me to let go. I have so many new boys and girls but these first boys hold a special place in my heart. Sad day for me.

Poor sweetie... It will be hard.
I am very curious as to what is causing them to do that. Does your vet have any idea as to why they are affected this way?

No he just says it seems like something is getting his nerves. Heart and lungs always sound bad too. He is to rest now so hopefully my others will be a bit better than these guys were

Wow. It's horrible how this happens again, and yet we still don't know. Have you considered maybe autopsies? Or would that have nothing to offer, since we do think it's nerve-based?(And I can understand how you wouldn't want to, I couldn't have an autopsy done... ): )

I'm so sorry. Poor sweethearts, I was rooting for Templeton and Loki more than any other rats that weren't my own.

I did think about it. But the money I spend on that wont change what happened. The money can be put to better use feeding 37 rats and doing the spays/neuters LOL. I would love to know but at the same time i cant change it. I tried to make the best of it for him. I fed him in his igloo every night, last night he pushed it out, I just didnt want to think about it. Then I saw him this morning and my heart told me it was time for my sweet boy.

Some of my boys just dont care much for me. Sadly I am glad that when I need to be there for them, they allow me to be. We held him the whole way to the vet for ringos check up, the whole time in the office till he drifted off.

He had the most beautiful red eyes I have ever seen on a pew.
