I can breathe a little easier now. I set Cadillac up in the top half of the "holiday cage (CN)" with her friend Caramel. Caramel is a gentle, timid rat who won't eat all of the food and who will snuggle up with Caddy. So now I can rest easy knowing that Caddy will always have access to food and liquid in the middle of the night and during the daytime without having to be alone. She loves to go over for a good gnaw at the banana every few minutes. Vet appt after work, and I will request Bromocriptine if he confirms a dx of PT.
I think that she is a little more mobile today, able to do more than just circle, and she continues to be well groomed. She is more steady and able to stand on her back feet for several seconds in order to groom. Front paws are still not working properly, though.
The other devouring horde is in the playpen now, working off the effects of World Rat Day peas. Back to their cage and then bedtime for all!
