Godmother's Mikey

[SQ]

This afternoon Mikey's right front leg and body started shaking, vibrating, pawing at the ground.
I have been wondering for awhile if he might have pt .... just a feeling ....
Wondering if he was having a seizure or if this is pt ....

Over the last few weeks, Mikey has been showing much less interest in food
As godmother says, he is the only rat we have heard of the loooves metacam .... he is on it for his hed

Ooooh Mikey! Hugs to him but a rat who loves metacam! Whodathunkit! Sending good thoughts his way.

Good thoughts for Mikey! Could it just be tremors? Maybe he had a mild stroke?

I've had males do that when starting HED. Hopefully it's nothing serious.
Oh and a few of mine love metacam too. Which blows my mind because that smell is just awful.

Mikey has advanced hed ..... he has had it for awhile ....
Mikey is also losing weight (a good thing) as food is no longer irresistable to him.
I have been giving Mikey sub-Q injections of dex for 3 days (so far) and he is doing much better
.... he is more interested in things and is much more active

 

[Zooy]

Go Mikey! Continue to improve, okay little buddy!

 

[mamarat]

Fingers crossed for Mikey!

Do you still think it's PT? It's great that the dex is doing so good for him.

That is good to hear, glad it is working for him.....
