Female Agouti Hooded Rat, born March 07, 2007, Crossed the Rainbow Bridge Sept. 18, 2008
(Mr. Soul x Kinda Fonda Wanda)
RIP
Gone but not forgotten. Since Nov. 2007 she was on antibiotics for respiratory infection. Every time I tried to wean her off she would get a relapse. So I just kept her on doxy and she did great.
Monday night I found her in her cage unable to get out of a box,she was paralyze on one hind leg, with the other functioning but a bit weak. After a couple days she was not too interested in food only special treats. I think it was her way of wanting to cross over the bridge...so she was euthanized. She was the friendliest of the girls after getting sick, she knew she would get a special treat (antibiotics) twice a day. She was aloft & a loner before ever getting sick, she often would not sleep with her cage mates. That changed after getting sick.
