Frankie Has PT - RIP Sweetie :(

[temblabamomo]

Meh, I can't view pics at work.
I have my fingers crossed for her :hugs:

Her right front leg is splayed out but her paw is completely knuckled over

Oh dear :hugs:

I hope improvement starts quickly.

I hope it is okay for me to ask, but did you not find bromoctipine to be helpful enough to be worth it for PT?

I actually have a bottle of bromocriptine waiting for my next patient. Lately all my PT rats have been very old (29 months and up), and already compromised...I need a younger (under 2 years old) rat so that I can see if there really is months of relief from the symptoms whereas with an older rat you just cannot get that.

Ah, I get it. Thanks for explaining.

No problem. I guess its not such a bad thing PT is showing up in these much older rats isn't it? :nod:

Kisses and lots of good vibes to Frankie :heart:

Good to know that you can get Bromo in a bottle instead of pills.

I have everything crossed for Frankie.

 

[lilspaz68]

She's trundling a bit faster today and seems able to grasp things a little better...not sure how far the improvement will go but some rats improve slowly...

 

[Bundyrats]

Well that's great news. I really hope she keeps getting better, she's such a cutie.

 

[temblabamomo]

Good to hear. I hope she continues to improve.

 

[mamarat]

Fingers crossed for Frankie.

 

[lilspaz68]

It's starting to look very good. Tonight I saw her not just trundle, but a super fast Trundle Run LOL

I took some pics to show the difference

 

[Dazzle87]

Amazing! She looks so much more alert and look at her dexterity!

 

[hopefloats]

aww she is using both hands!

 

[lilspaz68]

She's running up and down on the bed, keeping me awake :laugh4:

 

[Rachael]

Awwww that's great

 

[Bundyrats]

That's the best news!

 

[mamarat]

[Godmother]
