old rat needs help!

[mmuffin]

Bad news - the appointment got cancelled because the Dr won't be coming in today. I rescheduled the appointment to Monday. The animal hospital in Hamilton is also fully booked I don't know if this is a wise decision but I would rather see someone who has experience treating rats, especially PT, rather than some vet who has little to no experience with the same situation.

Any thoughts?

Is there anything I can do to ease her pain till Monday?

Can you get to Toronto?

She is in rat heaven now :heart:

I already miss her :cry:

Thanks for all the support.

I am so sorry.

aww I am so sorry, even though it hurts shes not uncomfortable anymore and never will be ever again :cuddle: I've lost 3 rats to a PT and when it drags on its a very horrible thing to experience them loosing themselves like that. Just know that a lot of people including many trained vets believe that PT are completely painless for rats even when they seem to look so miserable. All my 3 looked physically horrible but never seemed to indicate any sign of pain what so ever..I think their nervous system shuts down to help them deal with the condition. Your baby knows you did all you could :cuddle:

I am sorry to hear this, but glad you made such a decision for your baby who couldn't make it for herself.
