I fear my rat is dying

21 17:45:52

Question
Mu died of pneumonia, this is what the vet said when we brought her in even thoe she had already passed (if you remember she died in the vet clinic parking lot) But I do wish to know what you suspect it was. Latte had just been moping around and mostly sleeps. On monday we are taking her to the vet and having them to a FULL check up and everything else. For we can not get more rats I just couldnt bare to go thru them dying but we are giving Latte all of our love and then some.

Answer
I agree with the vet and feel that is what she had as well. I am pretty sure your Latte will be ok though but an exam would be a good idea.

I can see where your coming from with how hard it is to lose the rats so suddenly.  I just try to accept their time here with us is short and enjoy them while they are here!
