Loving rats since 2002.
Oh my... I'm so sorry Godmother...
Godmother said:My dear Allie died suddenly about five hours after surgery. SQ rushed her in, but she was dead by the time of arrival. The vet did a quick necropsy to see if there was any obvious problem, but there was not. The incision was already healing well, there was no excess blood in the abdomen, no problem with adhesions. From the description of her behaviour just before she died, I would guess that her heart gave out on her. I have to remember that her cagemate, probably a sister, had died a few days before I adopted Allie. she was a pet store rat, with all that implies.
I am feeling so sad. She had been with me less than a month, but we really loved her.
