You are a wonderful person and surely love your rats. You do have to take care of yourself too. I know taking care of the rats, takes care of you :heart: :thumbup: Hope today is a good day for you and the sickies.

After her meds, but still wanting to sleep

Her malocclusion (took the pic for my vet)

and finally waking up...she gets her "bath" after this and we clean up her crusty fur, and eyes/nose, etc...she enjoys that. She hates being scruffy. :lol:

She is at work in my lap right now and she looks really really good :) The bad eye looks better, she's very alert, always wants to lie upright in a more natural albeit sick rat position. :happydance:

She's sleeping again, as I do some work that has to get done this morning :D
 
I just put her down on the carpet to see how she would move, and she motored off! She is tilted a little but is able to turn in the opposite direction, and even thin, and wobbly was very happy to be going places :) The funny clubbing of the feet seems to be a bit less (thank you dexamethasone!) as well. :thumbup:
 
I think your boss is just about the nicest boss in the world. I don't know anyone else who would let someone bring a sick rattie to work. Thats so wonderful that you get to look after her all day long.

Yay Iris!!
 
That's great! I don't think that I could do that here.... although, if I were desperate, I'd ask if I could keep a cage in the (dry and clean) basement out of sight.
 
:sad3: I cry every time I read her up-date. She is looking so much better to-day.:love11: Try to get more rest, Iris really needs you to be in top shape for her.
You have really gone beyond the call of duty. I think of you both all the time....Thank you "Iris's little angel" :angel:

Is it better to use a burr on the teeth rather than clip?

She just drank 12 cc's from the syringe with gusto! Her eyes are bright but her "sick" eye looks a bit wrong so I'll put ointment on it tonight :D

12 cc's :wow2: big big improvement. "Iris's little angel" :D
