Breathing..

Question
QUESTION: Sandra, all vets in my area are closed, there is no one that can help me. I called the vet you found for me they are closed already... She seems to be worse, I dont know what to do...
Is there anything i can do to help her and take her tomorrow to the vet??

Thankss

ANSWER: What is she doing that makes you think she is worse?
Let me know so I can try to advise you on what to do.

Meanwhile, here is an ER that is 24 hrs for pets.  Call and see if they see rats and if they say NO ask if they cant see her and call an exotic vet to help guide them on how to treat her.

QUESTION: She seems to be weak, she is on the top of the cage, by herself, all her body is moving when she breathes and it seems that her belly sucks in as you said when she breathes and its very fast... It seems that she has a worm crawling in her belly moving all around. Her head goes back and forth when she breathes but she doesnt make any noise or anything.. Cookie is normal.

ANSWER: I am still here....is she still the same?

Is she eating or refusing food?

QUESTION: Hi Sandra,

I took her to the vet yesterday... She died in my hands. It was pretty hard to handle that, but I know I gave her the best life she could have... I gave her a fun life.
Im very upset, very upset. We buried her.

Answer
OMG I am soooo sorry.  You are right, you showed her love and that is what is important.

I do want to point out that you were already very fine tuned with these little rats and you KNEW she was sick... you are a good rat mommy.

Did you go to the emergency vets?

hugs to you and I am here for whatever you need!
