Long story short, I was taking a bath and Matilda was running around my room. I guess she got in the bathroom and did something I never excpected- knowing there was water in the tub, she JUMPED right in! To make matters worse, I was under the water, rinsing my hair so I didn't see her until I came out and noticed a poor little sudsy rat engulfed by a wave. I barely saw her- she's white, and so are shampoo suds!!! I don't know how long she was completely under, but definetly a few good seconds. Of course, I pulled her out and luckily she wasn't... well... ya guys know. :sad3: :cry4:
The first thing I did was look at her face, which seemed okay except for how terrified it was. Then I listened to her breathing and that seemed fine, too. I set her down while I got out and she ran around like normal, except panicky and wet. Should I be concerned? She's still acting OK, and I'm struggling to keep her warm/dry her- she just fought off a upper respiratory, and now it's cold- and she's soaked. :emb:
