my handsome Tucker

Adrienne · Apr 29, 2009

I woke up yesturday to Tucker acting really strange So i took him out of his cage and he had pooped and urinated all over him self.. I took him in the washroom and gave him a bath he didnt fight me like he always does . i wrapped him in a towel and dried him off he wanted to cuddle So i took a pillow case and wrapped him in it like a baby and he loved it Burxxing (sp?) and giving me kisses then he went to sleep. He has slowed right down he has red specks on his skin and in his fur im not to sure what it is... I want to take him to the vets tomorrow but i have that feeling that he is going to Pass.. I love my Little Tucker he and His brother Nova (rip)were my first rats that i rescued the first rats i have even owned... Ugh this is breaking my heart :sad3: ... But Tucker is an old man and his Life hasn't been that great... He never experienced a loving hand or anything till he got here... I took some pics Last night before I put him back in his cage...

thanks moon
so he wont hold any food.. i gave everyone some marboro toast before i went to work and he wouldnt grab it he just ate it off the floor of his cage... ... does anyone know what the red specs would be? i tired to get a picture but they are just to small to see... they are in his fun and on his skin... they arent bugs or anything..
