Something is wrong with Neville-Passed over night

[handmeafish]

So I made my self get out of the house for a little while. I had to get to class, and study for a test. I just left Neville to heal on his own. I spoon fed him a ton of food before leaving, and gave him a few syringe fulls of food, and figured it would be easier for him to rest with out me staring at him.

He seems to be doing a tiny bit better tonight. He' still squeaky when I touch him, but less so once I pick him up. He drank a lot of water for me, with out protesting. He doesn't seem to have control over his head, and he's kind of given up on moving at all, but he isn't rolling or spinning or anything. He is shaking his head when I hold him, like he's trying to make it work but just doesn't have the strength. He had less poryf around his eyes. He really is fighting.

I really wish your little Neville all the best and I send all my healing vibes your way. Have strength!:heart:

Neville passed last night. At least I know he isn't suffering any more.
Thanks for all your help. I wish I'd gotten him to the vet sooner, but I don't know that it would have helped. The vet said that infections that deep are hard to get.

It also could've been a stroke, its soo hard to tell. I am so very sorry fish. :sad3:

 

[MMak]

I'm so sorry... you did the best that you could and gave him a good life!

 

[Ratmaus]

He was a little fighter, I'm sure he appreciated your care and worries for him.

RIP Neville, have fun at the bridge!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I was -just- looking at pictures of your little sweetie the other day.. what a lucky fella to have had someone that wanted to fight for him.

I'm so, so sorry! He knows that you loved him very much, and will be waiting for you at the bridge. *hugs*

I am so sorry for you loss.

 

[hprats]

Aww, I'm really sorry for your loss. I've been following this thread with my fingers crossed, but I guess sometimes there's just nothing to be done. Sorry again, for you and your rat crew.

 

[Cinderwolf]

Oh hun, I'm so sorry.

He is looking down on you from heaven now, surrounded by all the little angel rats. He is in good hands until you meet again. :hugs:

I am so sorry.. he really tried to fight hard but sometimes it's just not enough.

So sorry about Neville. It sucks to lose a rattie who should be in the prime of his life...

Very sorry for your loss Neville is now run/hopping with all before him at the Bridge! :hugs:

 

[temblabamomo]

I'm so sorry. You really did do every thing you could for him, and I'm sure he appreciated having such a caring a devoting person to look after him. Play hard Neville.

I'm so sorry fish :hugs:

Thanks so much guys. It really helps to have you guys. I snuggled with him last night (I was worried because he felt cold. When I put him back in I told him to tell me if he was ready, and that I was ok to let him go if he was ready. I think he didn't want to put me through that.

What can I do for seamus now? I let him smell Neville before I took him, so that he would know, and he gave him one last goodbye groom. He seems ok now, but how can I help keep him from being depressed. What should I look for? How do I help him now?

Spend a lot of time with Seamus for the time being - lots of out-time, down-the-shirt-time (if that's something he likes). It'll help both you and him, I know from experience (I lost my Princess under *very* similar circumstances to your Neville, and Plumeria and I helped heal each other).

I'm so sorry for your loss. Play hard at the bridge, Neville, your mama loves you.
